Ted Churchill Steadicam Demo

Ted Churchill giving a demo on building and balancing an early model steadicam rig, and some basic steadicam operation. The video was shot in a prep room at what was formally Victor Duncan Camera. Ted was an early pioneer of the craft.

Ted was a friend and hero of mine and I still mourn his loss...

I learn more about this product from these old videos than the new ones, I just bought one a few weeks ago. So glad that this and other videos like this are out there

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

When pros actually looked like what they knew!! Awesome video. Everything you see here applies to any kind of steadicam system even the ones from off brands ( Came TV, etc) even if they are slightly different with the hardware the balancing and detailed how to work with these systems makes this video extremely important to watch.

Thanx for this upload!! Dont let the pipe hit the magasin.

[@andyvan5692]

yes, and hope there is no nitrate film in the mags either :-), smoking should be banned on set anyway!!

Learning from the master. That was awesome.

Cool....
I am very happy to see that the steadicam operator of life there in the US is very quiet . Here when hiring this service, even camera want to stop just because the steadicam station paying.
My dream is to reach this level of respect and valorization profissinal here.
