Supercut: The Art of Steadicam

The Art of Steadicam by Larry Wright

The clips here are culled from the list of 50 greatest steadicam shots as chosen by the users at the enthusiast site Steadishots.org. 

"Invented by Garrett Brown in the early 70's, the steadicam shot -- or 'steadishot' -- has become one of the most dynamic and exciting forms of cinematography and is one of the most engaging visual techniques in a filmmaker's storytelling arsenal.

I was inspired to make this homage to the art of steadicam cinematography when browsing the database of "top" clips over at steadishots.org, which are rated by the community. After locating what sources I could from the top 50 or so, I decided to stick with the order presented on the site (accurate as of March 1, 2013).

While I do hope you enjoy my video, there are many other clips that I was not able to source as well as many great clips that have yet to be rated into the "top" ranks, so please head over to steadishots.org and show your appreciation for the great service they provide."

Humor: The Games of Hunger

The Games of Hunger

Dreamworks animator David Stodolny has spent some of his spare time creating this funny yet seriously twisted Hunger Games animated parody called “Games of Hunger.” In this parody the contestants have to basically eat themselves to death, actually making this hand drawn animated short more bloody, violent and disgusting than the feature film. The last one who doesn’t explode wins!

Trailer: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Interview: Erik Bauersfeld

Erik Bauersfeld, 90 years old, performed the voices of Admiral Ackbar and Bib Fortuna in "Return of the Jedi." He's still never seen the original "Star Wars," and the recording was a very small job in his respected broadcasting career. But he has developed a nice relationship with fans of the series, returning their letters and refusing to charge money for autographs.

Panel: Avengers NYCC 2011

The IGN Theater at New York Comic Con 2011 was packed to the brim with eager fans readying for the biggest public assemblage of Avengers since San Diego Comic Con 2010!

Nerdist's Chris Hardwick moderates the Marvel Studios Avengers panel featuring Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, stars Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, and a special surprise Avenger that you surely wouldn't like if perchance you were to make them angry!

Trailer: A Game of Shadows

The new trailer for Sherlock Holmes:  A Game of Shadows is here! In it, Sherlock Holmes and his reluctant sidekick Dr. Watson join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty. Will it be better than the visually stunning (if weak-plotted) predecessor? I can't help but think the answer is a resounding yes.

Infographic: ‘The Cost of Content Theft’ By The Numbers

mpaa-infographic
Oddly enough, we discovered this infographic through the Torrent Freak pirate news site. They believe it to be “industry funded,” and I have to say, I agree. The numbers on this one are ridiculously one-sided. I seriously doubt that shutting down torrent traffic tomorrow would magically poor US$58 billion dollars into our economy. In fact, I strongly suspect that, in these tough times, piracy is playing a huge part in retaining audiences among people who don't have a lot of money to spare for entertainment right now. Accept it or not, letting fans keep up with Dexter or the whatever other series they follow when they can't afford cable is a hell of lot better for the industry than losing the fans altogether. But that's just my two cents.
