Garrett Brown,
Inventor of the Steadicam
"Steadicam was perceived as a running camera
for the first few years but basically it's an all-around camera support
and a very capable aiming tool. I enjoy imitating a dolly very closely,
but with the mobility and the chance to look straight ahead that Steadicam
makes possible on rough ground and in tight location sets. It is pure joy
as long as you don't absolutely wear yourself out. I think it's still the
best job in the business. I intend to keep operating until I'm ancient,
and maybe then I'll just mount the arm to my walker!"
