Chief Productions have been shooting with the bike rickshaw on the latest TV ad for Kleenex’s upcoming winter campaign. DP James Watson and Director Nate Camponi used the rickshaw for several tracking shots of a cyclist and football players.
The Step on rickshaw has been out with the crew from UFA Fiction’s drama series “Valley Of The Fox” currently shooting in N.Wales. The Steadicam was hard mounted to it in low mode for tracking shots of a cyclist along Llandudno promenade.
Steadicam and camera op. Nigel Clarkson has just taken delivery of a Step on/off Rickshaw, plus balloon wheels, for filming on Stephen Poliakoff’s political drama “The Summer Of Rockets” which is currently shooting for the BBC.
Barcelona based Steadicam op. Ramon Sanchez Ortega has kindly sent over more shots of his Step On/Off rickshaw in action. He has also found an ingenious use for it as an on set steadi-cart.
The rickshaw has recently been out with the crew from the second series of police drama “Safe House”, which has been filming around Merseyside and Cheshire. Balloon wheels helped to smooth out tracking shots over waste ground.
I have recently been shooting Steadicam on ITV’s new drama series “Tina & Bobby” chronicling the life of England and West Ham football legend Bobby Moore and his childhood sweetheart Tina Dean.
Steadicam supremo Alf Tramontin climbed aboard the cycle rickshaw this week for series two of police drama “No Offence”. To shoot a BMX chase sequence, Alf used the step on/off rickshaw attached to the bike. With his rig hard mounted and underslung he was able to shoot dramatic low angle fast paced coverage
