I’m a steadicam operator. I love what I do. When people learn about it, I often get questions about working with such and such actor, what was it like? Did you get star struck and so on... I honestly couldn’t care less about stardom and all that gossip. I want to talk about how I got to fly an Alexa35 with a Probe lens, or how I love filming dancers because I get to transfer emotions through the movement of the camera, turning the audience into an extra dancer.

I also do some engineering on the side to create camera accessories with 3D printing, electronics, soldering and MCU programming. Conversations about those subject are completely inexistant outside of the internet for me and maybe 3 or 4 colleagues.

Turning the audience into an extra dancer, damn that so cool, I understand why you love that part. It really makes you think about all the creativity it takes and how artistic it really is! And it often gets over looked..
