I'm a corporate videographer, and I'm doing a number of MTV "Cribs"-styles shoots and live events of large stage productions.
We are shooting with Hitachi 3000's on Betacam SP backs. So, the weight is about 20-25 lbs?
I've been asking for us to purchase a Steadicam/Glidecam vest support system to use on these shoots. Any other systems out there that will support the camera weight?
The chief engineer has just assigned me to do a write up on how this would make our lives better, be more effecient, etc. Groan.
Has anyone out there had to validate a purchase like this? It's not easy trying to persuade non-creative types or bean-counters that a sizable purchase like this is useful. I'm having trouble communicating my objective points.
I KNOW how it would make shoots be more productive, have better shots and communicate stories more effectively (hey- I like that. Its going in the paper).
Input greatly appreciated!!
