Challenges of new camera operators, Will Steadicam help me get work, efficiency vs. quality. In this episode we go back a couple of weeks to review our EP 39 with Atlanta based Steadicam operator, Jarrett Morgan, SOC.    

In Epsidoe 39 we chat with Steadicam Operator, Jarrett Morgan, SOC about how he got his start, how Steadicam may or may not be the right decision for a new camera operator as well as finding the "backbone" of each scene.    Check us out on Instagram @protecttheframe as well as the website at www.protectingtheframe.com as well as video version of the recording at https://youtu.be/Zg4gcGTitoE

In this episode I go back and review some golden nuggets Chris McGuire and I discuss on the previous episode 38. We review the layers there can be to telling the story through the lens, the idea of camera operator paranoia and also discuss why a technically perfect shot isn't always the right shot choice.

In Episode 37 we talk with steadicam operator Chris McGuire, SOC, ACO about expectations of the camera operator that you can't see from the outside, creating the correct movement for the story versus the technically sound as well as break down some well executed oners from Ross Coscia, Sasha Proctor and Stamos Triantafyllos.
