How Broadcast Magazine photos are done.

How Broadcast Magazine photos are made. (In 1998).

Photographer:
Dont smile. Look down.

I look down.

Photographer:
Now look up.

I look up.

Photographer:
WITHOUT moving your head.

I try doing that, but I can tell he still hasn't got what he's after.

Photographer:
Now look like you don't want to be here.

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.

UPDATE -- 16 Dec 2012

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


UPDATE -- 19 Feb 2014

Well, technically, this ain't no Steadicam - it's a Gimbal.
(Should it ever come to pass... definite name for my third child)

But you run around with it like a steadicam...

Fave TV #1 Control Rooms and production galleries

Putting my fave 100 bits of TV into one place.

Starting with TV eating itself.

These got me wanting to do this for a living, (and why we put a gallery shot into every titles sequence of The RDA (completely lifted from the CNN live "break bumper" shots of the time)).


One from 1989 with Jeremy Paxman... (Director: Janet Fraser-Crook)



Here’s another (not safe for work) - from when the UK hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 1977. (Director: Stewart Morris)



(If you liked that one, you'll LOVE these Stewart Morris stories)

And one from the States during the Oscars (Director: Louis J Horwitz)




BBC One O'Clock News from 1986, where the bulletin runs out of news. (Director: Unknown)



"I've got no scripts Mike!"
"We're going to have to crash... we'll have to crash..."


How the London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony was covered... (Director: Hamish Hamilton)

Turns out it was shot and completely edited and post-produced, before then turned into camera scripts for the big day...



Behind The Scenes - Television Centre (1971)


Includes "Cousin Bette", and "Blue Peter".
