The Steadicam® Operator's HandbookCamera operators and video enthusiasts around the world search for the training and information they need to successfully use the Steadicam®, the most versatile tool for moving a motion picture or video camera. Every year, about 500 people in the world are lucky enough to take an intensive training workshop (some of the top workshops are taught by the authors of this book), but these workshops are expensive and sell out as a matter of course: the instructors simply can't keep up with the high demand. As a result, the vast majority of people have no practical way to learn what has become an essential camera operating skill. For the first time, THE STEADICAM® OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK illuminates all aspects of Steadicam operating in one comprehensive package. With over 1300 full-color photos, it's the comprehensive how-to and why-to book for the amateur, semi-pro, and professional.
Written by the premier Steadicam instructors in the world, this book covers everything a cameraman needs to get started using a Steadicam rig and to get better. Both informational and inspirational, THE STEADICAM® OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK moves from the physics and balancing of a Steadicam, through a series of step-by-step line dances and practice shots, to the most personal aspects of filmmaking - how individual operators make creative and practical decisions using this unique camera setup.
The book discusses the wide array of equipment and accessories currently available, and it also illustrates the latest operating techniques and tricks, a variety of strategies for working with others, and the business side of a Steadicam career. Also included are observations and anecdotes - inspirational, funny, instructive, and cautionary - written by a number of other experienced Steadicam operators around the world, including the legendary inventor of the Steadicam himself, Garrett Brown. THE STEADICAM® OPERATOR'S HANDBOOK is both a master class and a master reference for all camera operators and directors who want to move the camera well.

Extrait : Le steadicam est un système stabilisateur de prise de vues utilisé en cinéma et télévision permettant la prise de vue à la volée, en travellings fluides, grâce à un système de harnais et de bras articulé. L'opérateur steadicam peut ainsi marcher ou courir tout en gardant une image stable et réaliser des travellings verticaux et horizontaux ainsi que des panoramiques, sans liaison au sol (rails, chariot...). Il permet entre autres de long suivis, des montées d'escalier, des déambulations en terrain accidenté, etc. Steadicam est une marque déposée qui appartient à son inventeur, Garrett Brown.

Il se nommait au départ le « Brown's stabiliser » (en français ; le « stabilisateur de Brown », du nom de son inventeur), qui était une perche horizontale. Il met alors au point le fameux bras à ressort et le harnais corporel qui permettent de transposer une grande partie du poids de l'ensemble « caméra/manche » sur le dos et les épaules de l'opérateur. Son prototype prêt, Brown le propose alors à Ed Di Giulio, le patron de Cinema Products, qui est impressionné par les images filmées par l'opérateur lors d'une projection chez Deluxe. Il signe immédiatement avec lui un accord de développement. Une fois l'appareil mis au point, Garrett Brown l'expérimente sur des tournages de publicités, puis vient le tour du cinéma avec l...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr
