Steadicam

Next Course Dates

01 November 2010 to 05 November 2010  

We believe our Steadicam course is one of the best in the country – over five days, you will cover not only the technical aspects of how the Steadicam works, but also what it adds to a shoot aesthetically. We cover everything from shoot choreography to stairs and from static shots to rolling horizons. Working in teams of three per rig, you’ll have the opportunity to practice different techniques and manoeuvres -- working up to a 15 minute shot. Our tutor offers plenty of feedback and a chance to view your HD rushes in our HD cinema. We've had great feedback from this course:

I really enjoyed the course – it motivated me to pursue a Steadicam career and it helped me to discover my weaknesses … brilliant tutor!”
“[the course] gave me confidence and filled in the gaps in my previous knowledge”
“great course and great trainer”

The course includes an introduction to Steadicam, its use in shoots, safety, the set-up, the different models of Steadicam and Operations. Participants use the rig every day of the course.

This course demands a level of fitness and stamina. It is intended for camera operators only – on your cv please detail which cameras you have used – if you have any questions about this course’s suitability please ring us on 01494 677 903.
