    I’m a steadicam operator. I love what I do. When people learn about it, I often get questions about working with such and such actor, what was it like? Did you get star struck and so on… I honestly couldn’t care less about stardom and all that gossip. I want to talk about how I got to fly an Alexa35 with a Probe lens, or how I love filming dancers because I get to transfer emotions through the movement of the camera, turning the audience into an extra dancer.

    I also do some engineering on the side to create camera accessories with 3D printing, electronics, soldering and MCU programming. Conversations about those subject are completely inexistant outside of the internet for me and maybe 3 or 4 colleagues.

      Dude, I’d ask so many questions if you brought that up in regular conversation and I’m not in your line of work at all. That sounds awesome.
