The art of artemis - A three day workshop on the art of flying a camera

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining showed us the real value of a steadicam shot. Suspense, fear, gripping drama and weightless pictures suspended in mid air. Spend three days with Curt Schaller and find out how it's done.

Using Sachtler's artemis system, this workshop will teach you how to move, how to frame a shot, how to prepare the rig and set up the equipment.  You will dissect shots from TV and films and learn how to re-create them.

Topics Include:

• Creative possibilities
• How to prepare the rig
• How to prepare the camera and sled
• How to balance any camera
