Ok gang, here's the deal. I love making films, even if they're not my own. So, I'd like to make an offer to IFP/Phx Members only... I will work as a Steadicam operator on your short film project for FREE. Not Glidecam, not a hand-held stabilizer, but a real full-blown Steadicam system.
So, what's the catch? 1) Must be an IFP/Phx member (no... Amanda did not put me up to this, I just believe in this group) 2) must be a short film, 1-2 days max shooting. 3) I have to read the script first 4) receive copy and credit as "Steadicam Operator" 5) Lots of water. And obviously, I have to be available. Other than that, I really just want to make some cool looking films here in Phoenix, and get to work with some of the other great filmmakers here in town.
About Me: I own a Steadicam ProVid2+ rig, which can fly cameras up to 25 pounds. I've flown HVX200, JVCHD100, XL2, 16mm Film, XDCam, and the HPX500 cameras. I will soon be testing to see if I can fly a loaded RED camera. I've been operating for about 2 years now, and have credits in shorts films, music videos, and feature films. See my IMDB Page here:

If you're interested, contact me with info about your project! My Steadicam reel currently contains some unreleased footage, so it can only be shown to serious directors upon request. LET'S MAKE SOME FILMS!
