It takes skill and LOTS of practice to be a successful Steadicam operator. The best Steadicam operators are highly sought after and constantly in-demand. It’s a physically and mentally demanding job to consistently pull off smooth shots with depth and motion. Steadicam shooting is an art.
The following video aptly named “The Art of Steadicam” shows off some of this ‘fancy footwork’ in a montage of some of the very best Steadicam shots in film and video history.
