We're hard at work practicing with our new Glidecam. It helps us capture great looking video footage: dolly, arching and tracking shots but at a cost to our physical stamina. Our Sony video camera balanced very well on our Glidecam but at 2Kgs, it was already very heavy when attached to the Glidecam in addition to the counterweights.
At about 1Kg, our 3CCD Panasonic video camera with a wide-angle lens adapter and fold out LCD panel was perfect but still exacted a toll on us. I just don't want to imagine loading our XL1 onto the Glidecam... I tried it anyway and suffice to say, it's not a good experience.
I intend to use the Glidecam on our upcoming project for Tan Chong Industrial Equipment (TCIE)'s Corporate Video. This project promises to put us face to face with huge diesel powered commercial trucks. The TCIE Corporate Video will be the first video to feature Glidecam Videography from WolFang Digital.
Meanwhile, it's going to be more sessions at the gym and more practice in the studio with our Glidecam. It's a great piece of equipment for moving, stable shots. With the help of the Glidecam, our Videos will gets a more refined look, resembling a high-budget Hollywood production but it still takes lots of hard work to become a competent Glidecam Videographer.
