I am an experienced cameraman working
in film and video production as a B Camera / Steadicam
Owner/Operator in a wide variety of formats and mediums.
I've received specialized training in the operation of Steadicam,
SuperFlyCam
(SM), FlyCam, & Alien
Revolution Systems.
IMDB
defines "B" Camera as an extra camera
operator, often needed for complicated action sequences or stunts.
Steadicam Operating
is a specialized form of camera operating that utilizes a camera
stabilizing technology called Steadicam. In order
to master the craft it typically requires a significant amount of
practice with the equipment, so camera operators found they needed
to purchase Steadicam equipment in order to become proficient in
its use. This group of cameramen called themselves Steadicam
Owner/Operators.
