Just completed Steadicam work on a new feature film adaptation of “Heidi” starring Bill Nighy and Emilia Fox. In order to film a fast paced snow chase, the step on/off rickshaw was configured for two wheel mode with the rig hard mounted and under slung.
I am currently shooting Steadicam on feature film “Lies we Tell” for Dop Santosh Sivan and Director Mitu Misra. Produced by Andy McDermott and Danny Gulliver for BIFA Films, the movie is set within the Pakistani community in Bradford and stars Harvey Kietel and Gabriel Byrne.
The step on rickshaw was used for a long tracking sequence during a big wedding scene along with several drones and a Technocrane.
I have had the privilege of working with the camera team on this week’s live episode of Coronation St., alongside fellow Steadicam operators Dave Carey and John Taylor. It was an exhilarating and technically challenging shoot for cast and crew alike.
Recently completed a Steadicam shoot for BBC’s “Holby City” using the Arri Amira for the first time. Great camera but surprisingly as heavy as the Alexa.
I have been operating Steadicam on series 9 of Dr Who for Dop. Mark Waters and Director Daniel Nettheim. During the shoot the step on/off rickshaw was used extensively for some very long and challenging tracking shots.
