John Ward is one of the first steadicam operator. He has been shooting movies like Highlander, Full Metal Jacket, Dancin' Thru the Dark, The Fifth Element, Alice in Wonderland...
What a Great Steadicam Operator -- John Ward,knew him well Optex was proud to have possibly sold him his Steadicam and provided the Oprex Communications Microwave System as seen in the Video "How Do They Do That"
Good video, I would imagine that you could also use the stedicam for a contra zoom (Hitchcock zoom) famous for being used in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. Then again, a dolly would take less strength and provide the same quality shot.
That rig was not even balanced watch as he walked up the stairs, this is due to the antenna and the camera shape. Makes it harder to balance like a 35 mm film camera.
This guy did the steady cam work in 5th element what a boss!
Met this guy... and did a training course what a true professional great to have met this man

アンテナはでかいし、モニターも薄型がなかったんだよな。
