Ted Sim sits down with Dan Kneece to learn more about why Steadicam can still be better than gimbals, what makes good steady shots cinematic, and why shot lists don't always help a movie.

"The shots shouldn't out perform the story" very wise words
Agreed!
can someone elaborate more on this...
@@muybitchin2180 don't try to make a bunch of over complicated shots just because they look cool but instead take shots that allow the story to flow
Chris Parayno true
I'm proud to say I was in the iconic Steadicam scene in Goodfellas. I was an extra in that movie and was right behind that camera and Ray Liotta. The extras in that line outside the Copacabana were directed to rush in after the Steadicam and the film lead couple. And as Liotta and Bracco are seen sitting at the table sitting, the people a few feet behind taking their seats were those same extras in line outside that were directed to follow the Steadicam. That way Scorsese used the same group extras in two areas for efficiency. So I am always proud to know I was part of the group walking in through that whole now-iconic shot. At one point a fake wall in the kitchen was moved after the Steadicam passed it to allow us extras to step out into the club area to go to our tables and pretend to be other people that were already in the club.
WhirlOmar wow, cool man. Nice piece of trivia.
Nice story.
that's incredible... would pay top dollar to see all of that played out
Great story & info! Must’ve been an amazing experience
That shot is epic. Thanks for sharing!
He just called all those UA-camrs with the trendy movements and transitions amateurs.
Well played sir, 🍺
Imagine having a guy like this as a mentor.
He's a good person and a good friend.
“I look at any shot or any movie like a piece of music” My man.
Dan's a Great guy, we have been friend's for over 30 years, We are in a "Club" unlike any other once a Steadicam Operator, Always a Operator.
This is some premium type of tutorial yet we getting it for free..
@johnny walker Still it is very informative.
exactly, more to learn on this channel than the MASTERCLASS
BRUH! I love this new series yall are doing with these legit professionals. So tired of corny/cringe 'youtuber' content. So much wealth of real world information. Keep up the great work. You da real MVP.
glad to hear it -- Dan is an absolute legend so thanks for sharing the love.
Seems like that cool and interesting uncle that every family needs.
"The chicken is going to go union" comment is 100% brilliant!
gold! not every shot needs to have that "cinematic" movement. feel like its the norm nowadays and what ppl identify as that 'cinematic' look to have constant moving motion in a film. he just knew where to point the camera and how much to move it. true words from someone who understood what a scene really needs.
Another high quality and informative content: no yelling, no cabaret just something you can learn from. Thanks you! It's incredible how a master like Dan Kneece is so down to earth compared to some addicted-to-retiming youtubers who act like a cinematography Gods
This was worth watching just to hear "actors before shots". And story above all else.
6:10 is the most honest piece of filmmaking advice I've ever heard. It's so true, unless it's a specific type of shot I never make a shot list and I bet some people "look down on that"...its up to cinematographer to work it after seeing the scene play out. Love this guy!
I really think this is something that should be talked about. I mean, at the end of the day I the right thing to do is that which works. But this is an interesting topic to explore, which is more efficient? Because we have all seen great examples of extremely planned out films. I think also the level of production plays a factor.
@@anzhonnycastillo1731 I think this all depends if you have time to do extensive rehearsals. a lot of time you don't have that time and you need to figure out the blocking before you go to set.
@@davidvandermeijde4884 So you're saying the prep work need to happen regardless, it's only a question about when? That's an interesting take. I assume that when you have a team where every department head is a master at their job, you can venture into more "freestyle" territory and still come out with something amazing.
@@anzhonnycastillo1731 there is almost no time, to figure out shots on the day of the shoot is self. I find ik very strange that he says this. but maybe he meant it in the rehearsel phase.
I had a workshop with Garrett Brown and got to hang out with him and his wonderful wife a lot. They are the most amazing people and Garrett’s attitude is so positive 🙌🏼
RIP DAN!!!!! I just can’t believe it! A master, a friend to many a a kind soul in this world is gone. Gone too soon…
The humour and knowledge that makes this interview interesting and keep going... 👌
Yeah, this channel is always giving me the info I need without having to ask, you rock indie mogul
Great episode, thank you for doing this. I'm happy and excited for you that you get to chat with these amazing creatives and visionaries!
Man, when he mentioned the shot list, that hit home. I was asked to do a shot list for a school assignment and I felt so limited. Great advice.
Man, that was a delight to watch. Awesome.
Great episode. I really like the analogy of pacing camera movement like a music composition.
I learned a lot from this, please keep posting more insightful content😍❤️ Thank You
thanks for tuning in!
Amazing the kind of people you get on here, never expected for indy mogul to come back this great
What a delightful and informative interview, Dan is a class act.

This is the best video you guys ever posted. Thank you for that.
You guys are on fire lately!!! Bringing on incredible people!
Love these content. I know I can't really make good videos just by watching this and it takes countless practice but it's just so good to listen from the best in industry.
Dude, this channel is GOLD!!! Thank you so much for your time and effort in creating these videos!!!!

Addicted to watching you Matti, Pete, and Caleb! Anyone I should being tuned into in Vancouver? You guys rock!

Ted, I love what y’all are doing with the channel. The early days of DIY were great, but these interviews with the pros are just awesome!!! Thank you so much for what you are doing to lift up our community to a higher level!! God Bless!!!
one of my favorite interviews so far
What a pleasure to have him on. Very sound advice.
We would love another episode with Sir Dan Kneece :) Awesome video :)

Nice to see what kind of artistry, is implemented behind the scenes. Many great minds, create a masterpiece... bless up!!!
Thank you, Ted, and thank you, Dan! I got a lot of inspiration from this video
Amazing advice from a master steadicam operator - Dan Kneece.
You should do more interviews like this one. Thank you!
Really loved this episode!
This was a great episode, learned so much !
I haven't had a need for my Steadicam for about a year and had considered selling it off. But, because of this video and Dan's arguments for what differentiates between them and a gimal, I'm gonna hold onto it.
I've now gotten interested in steady cam and will be looking for videos on Indy Mogul on steady cams and how to shoot it. Thank you sirs 👌🏽
this was awesome!!! loved it and the podcast too!
This was awesome. Dan is THE MAN!!
Dan was super cool and I learned a lot! Thank you for this.
this was a super informative video. growing up in the budget/gimbal era, I didn't really get to see a behind-the-scenes use of a steadicam. they were doing things that no gimbal can replicate.
Absolutely love your channel and your engagement with the comment section! Please never change
fantastic stuff! love watching this, more content like this would be amazing!
This was so dope to see great content
I appreciate those subtle grids overlaid on the video examples! Nice work
sooo good. thanks for all the videos
Great timing, I have an assignment on camera movement this week!
Fantastic interview, I love this guy. 👍
This was a great interview.
Dan is one of the all time best, such a great guy.
such a great interview :) Dan is awesomely down to earth.
Watching this again after dan kneece demise. Man what an amazing person and attitude. 💚
Amazing episode, 11 minutes flew by so quick 😊
This is a great perspective from Dan Kneece -- it's so crazy they're putting gimbals ON steadicams now!
Great great episode!
Omfg by far one of the best videos since you took over ted.
This man said the chicken is gonna go union 🤣🤣 I’m dead!!!
Loved the video. So interesting!
What a lovely video a lot to learn
WoW for real, great job on the quality of the content, learn a lot
So so good. Thanks for sharing
Way beyond wonderful.
Great content! Thank you. Keep up the great work!
Moving the camera with meaning. ❤️👍🤯
Great interviewer, great interviewee, this was great!
We live in a society that is in love with microwave results. We all want results as in yesterday. You look at this guy, and there's absolutely no way on earth he could have acquired such knowledge of the craft over a three-hour webinar. It's all about being dedicated to the craft, putting in the hours year after year, and before you know it, you start seeing and understanding things that were once completely foreign. This was gold!
That is a really good idea about motion VS stillness in your shots. It's like in music if you play a melody constantly, it just fades into the background but if you only play the melody when it counts the most, it becomes this uplifting thing.
Thanks for the content. Really liked this one.
Absolute LEGEND.
Really love this. He seems like a great guy
Well done interview. Very good info. Thank you.
Best video yet!
so grateful for this channel existence
This is hella informative, thank you!

Really beneficial vid. Im working on a music project and know videos are more important than ever to market music...but doing it independently I have to learn how to do certain things myself and on a budget. You have a new subscriber.

Really good interview. Really good.
So good I needed this
Aww, great video!! Miss this gentleman...
Didnt know that you guys have podcast...subscribed - to channel and podcast! Thank you for your content!
Brilliant, definitely learnt a few things there. Good to hear the difference from gimbal and steady cam too:)
Let's be real, Indy Mogul should have at least 3 million subs. Just saying, thank you for all your work!
Slowly but surely!!
Outstanding! That guy is a genius!
Great guest, nice booking!
Awesome! This is the bad axx I want on my film team! 😀👍
Respect the best out there!
