Steadicam on Coronation Street Live


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.

Shooting with the Amira on Holby

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.

 

On Location for Doctor Who series 9


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.

The crew from ITV’s “Surprise Surprise” have been shooting with the standard rickshaw and cycle mount. They needed to track a cyclist around the footpaths of Crawley Country Park. The Director and Cameraman both rode aboard, shooting with a hand held gymbal.
