The Best Way to Move Your Camera Tips from Steadicam Expert Dan Kneece

Ted Sim sits down with Dan Kneece to Alex: A pitty that you guys still contribute to perpetuate the prejudiced, uninformed opinion around Bay by cutting to footage of his films when Dan talks about moving the camera constantly, but you didn't cut to footage from, for instance, Fincher's movies when Dan mentions that people come in with shotlists done prior to getting to the set and watching what the actors will do, as he is one of the biggest proponents of that approach. Kind of a double standard. This (still on-going) Michael Bay depreciation bandwagon has no reason to exist other than herd mentality and deep ignorance of cinematic craft (despite whatever lies you may tell yourself to validate your opinion. Other than that, its always a pleasure to listen to a person with actual experience on film sets sharing their knowledge. Thanks for the video and podcast!

We live in a society that is in love with microwave results. We all want results as in yesterday. You look at this guy, and there's absolutely no way on earth he could have acquired such knowledge of the craft over a three-hour webinar. It's all about being dedicated to the craft, putting in the hours year after year, and before you know it, you start seeing and understanding things that were once completely foreign. This was gold!

It was a great relief to me. I bought electronic gimbal. It was getting me furious - why this damn thing starts and stops pan movement NOT when and where I want. Stop botch my shots up, you, uncontrollable piece of iron!
I have tried a mechanical steadicam - and. bingo! It is SO much controllable. But there was still a doubt - maybe my problem with gimbal was just all thumbs.

I'm actually surprised that it took so long to see people putting motorized gimbals on their Steadicams.
Also. I would love to see the famed Gyro stabilizer used to film tracking shots in the sub in Das Boot. A method of stabilizing that is just kind of scary in how it is described. And of course too loud in todays age of brushless gimbals. I just want to see it in action.

The only reason for me to use steadicam instead of a gimbal on a big production is because I don't have to strip out everything so the camera would be nicely balanced on the gimbal. Just release it from the tripod, and keep everything (monitors, transmitter, etc) on the camera rig and let the steadicam operator do the rest.

Wow, again great stuff, lots of very useful helpful and inspiring info for me, thanks and please keep up this kind of work. I encourage you to try to reach out to DP like Rachel Morrison or Roger Deakins, who knows, perhaps they would show up here some time, would be great to hear them talk.

Why don't prosumer gimbals have buttons to shut off each axis motor as necessary? That way you could achieve some of those quick movements stedicams allow then just release and restabilize. Was thinking of building my own using Arduino and that was my first thought for the design.
reply

I started using gimbals but ended up selling it and got a glidecam. I like it, but it's not that easy to use. also, you really need a heavy rig. It's even harder with a light setup. Which is why I prefer to use heavier cameras on a glidecam/steadicam

I haven't had a need for my Steadicam for about a year and had considered selling it off. But, because of this video and Dan's arguments for what differentiates between them and a gimal, I'm gonna hold onto it.
reply

Wow love it! I use Steadycam and i used to feel kind a idiot beacuse everyone is using gimbal! But now i feel proud of myself!
Sorry about my bad english i speak spanish!
When is up de podcast?

reply

Loved hearing this discussion! Can you pleasseee have someone talk about the Cinematography in the film, Inside Llewyn Davis! Or have you and another filmmaker guess how they achieved certain looks?
reply

you can whip pan with the ronin S gimbal by using the sport mode. youre whipping the whole gimbal. but you are losing the steadiness for a second. which doesnt matter because youre whipping
reply

Did anyone notice that Dan Kneece said he had a Ronin M and they show a Ronin S mainly. Not until they show they stabilizers on steadicams do they show a ronin m lmao.
reply

Worth mentioning that the La La Land shot was cuts tied together as a oner so there was steadicam work mixed with technocrane etc.
reply

I thought the Jurassic Park scene was filmed on a crane. From what I understand Spielberg himself manned the camera on that shot.
reply

I could have watched this much more in-depth for over an hour. 10 minutes feels to short to cover the topic. Great stuff!
reply

Can you get Garrett Brown on a segment I want to hear more, and his visions for new ways of filming in the future: )
reply

Nice to see what kind of artistry, is implemented behind the scenes. Many great minds, create a masterpiece. bless up!
reply

Let's be real, Indy Mogul should have at least 3 million subs. Just saying, thank you for all your work!
