¶ … Steadicam and Its Parts - One of the things that first struck me about this book is that it gets right to the point. From the beginning, the book focuses on the technicality of the Steadicam and its use. While I do not like the book's initial informality, it is something that I learned to appreciate as I continued to read. In this first section, Holway introduces the reader, in essence a Steadicam operator, to the history of the Steadicam, what to expect when you're wearing it, and all the moving parts.
Getting Started - While the first section focuses on the actual device and getting comfortable wearing the Steadicam rig, this second section impressed me by explaining how to move with the rig attached. I especially liked how the book focuses on walking, moving through the film space, changing speed, and walking and talking.
Beyond the Basics - I really liked how this section focuses on wearing the rig, and places emphasis on posture from the beginning. While this may seem unnecessary...
Finally, the book starts to focus on what the camera captures and not how it captures it or the equipment used to capture it.
Section 5: Movement Techniques -- This section appears to be slightly repetitive of what is stated in section 2 about moving with the rig, however, it provides useful tips on navigating through tight and unconventional spaces.
Section 6: Framing Techniques -- I like how this section goes into great detail on framing and provides excellent examples of the Steadicam at work, and I like how the Steadicam operator's patch is outlined in the different examples. This makes it easier for an operator to not only understand the theoretical concepts mentally, but also see them in action.
Section 7: Getting…
references many things a new operator might not think about when going into the industry.
Section 11: Unique Environments and Requirements -- I like this section because it tells the operator to be prepared in all environments and provides solutions for any unique issues that may be encountered. Beyond that, this section also tells the operator to take care of himself.
Section 12: The Experienced Operator -- One of the things I like most about this final section is how the author closes by telling the audience about the great successes in Steadicam operation, which further encourages the operator to go out there and work on their career.
Assignment The 1987 film The Princess Bride has become part of the public consciousness, and has what can be considered a cult following. While on the surface it seems like a frivolous romantic film, what makes The Princess Bride enduring is that it manages to be satirical without being cynical. The quirky dialogue of the film has given the popular culture catchphrases like �As you wish,� �inconceivable,� and Mandy Patankin�s
Social Media: Privacy and Free Speech Although social media has its conveniences, there are definitely some scenarios whereby one may find it difficult to engage their intended audience. This is more so the case in those instances where the message being passed on is confidential. While there are questions I would have no problem posting on an organization's social media platform, there are definitely some queries I would prefer to have
Curriculum: A Puzzle of Learning With an increased focus in literacy and assessment in education, the old curriculum, that is, planning the activities, then searching for resources, and finally deciding how to evaluate a student's achievement has been replaced with a new model. The new model begins with the evaluation, and then focuses on the resources that are available, and finally the tasks to teach the students are created. This model
Ken Kesey's novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest offers an ironic portrayal of mental health and mental illness. The story of Randle McMurphy, told through the eyes and ears of Chief Bromden, shows how restrictive social norms and behavioral constraints are what cause mental illness. Mental illness and deviance are socially constructed. The men in the institution have been labeled as deviants, many of them as criminals too. Yet
