Sporadically get comments and messages asking if there's any more eps, so here's the lot - every compilation show I can manage - over the next few days...

Frank Butcher explains a steadicam

Added this to "The best steadicam shot in the world ever" post:

Mike Reid hosting the Southern Television kids show Runaround, explaining how a steadicam works...



Link to the video here - love how to illustrate it they use a clip from... The Omen


Here's the full Best Steadicam Shot In The World Ever post:

Fave TV #2 The Best Steadicam Shot In The World Ever


27 seconds of GOLD. From Eurovision 2009.




...and this is how Karsten Jacobsen did it:

Crash a handlebar-less segway into the stage while holding your steadicam...

but just remember to keep on running...

DIY Steadicam - Flying Camera Support

Garret Brown's original Steadicam® is an icon that revolutionized filmmaking. Being the first and the best, it naturally and justifiably commands a premium price. It is for this reason that homemade DIY Flying Camera Supports have been around since at least 1977, just one short year after Mr. Brown's invention.

DAD LESSONS FOR MY KIDS
- Top 10 Upsides Of Recovering From A Boris Bike Crash -



10
Face looks like a themed Google logo. Changes by the day.

9
Being known to a handful of healthcare professionals affectionately as ‘that bloke who had the Boris Bike crash’.

8
Talking like Louis Spence.



7
Chunks falling off face like an maxillofacial advent calendar. Festive.

6
Patronising kids in the supermarket who stare to ‘always wear a bike helmet’, like some kind of deranged 1950s superhero.

5
Looking like a vagrant whose stuff never gets touched. Also festive.



4
Hours spent concussed equals hours not spent hearing about Eurozone crisis.

3
Drinking through a straw makes 2 year old son feel superior.

2
Finally being able to look my hero Erik Estrada in the eye.
We both know what this is like.


1
Looking like a Hitler cat.
Or the bloke from Sparks.
Or Blakey from On The Buses.
