An afternoon with Wim Wenders - Part 1 of 3

[KennyReddwooddforest]

Amazing interview. You give Wim Wenders all the room he needs to talk and remember things in his life and contemplate, that is so great. And the setting with the amazing trees in the background. The tree with all those branches looking like nerve dendrites like they are reaching out of his brain like a continuation of his hair. Absolutely beautiful and in tune.

The bird Wim discusses is a Lyre bird

Yeah, it's pretty cool, isn't it? I've figured out what he was using. It's the "Steadygrip", made by a German cameraman named Bernd Fiedler. There's a page about it, in German, here:

infomedia-sh.de/aktuell/0506/s­teadygrip.html

Unfortunately, I don't understand much of it. But there's a phone number on the page, so I suppose you could try to order it directly.

@thesefilms I clicked the page you posted and it's no longer available. Unfortunately :(

@dertodisteinmeister

the website where you can find detailed information about Bernd Fiedler's "Steadygrip" which Wim Wenders uses here on his camcorder still exists. They put it only in their web archive. So the link to this page is now:

infomedia-sh.de/index.php?page­=nl_0506_steadygrip

The telephone no. of Bernd Fiedler in Germany is +49 4344 9542. There you can still order this simple but fantastic grip also for the USA and all over the world.

@Njenga____ An addition advice from Njenga:

In some browsers you can`t copy the asci-sign of this link correct.

In that case you can't paste and copy but have to type the internet address by hand in your pc.

And this is the same with the old link, if you copy it by hand in your keyboard it will work also with the old link which "thesefilms" gave a year ago.

By the way the email-address of Bernd Fiedler is:

anafiedlerlog@aol.com

All the best for you

This litle handle he uses for filming is ingenuous. I need to get that. I think it has 2 big advantages. You film from the perspective of a child, so the film gets an 'unusual' perspective. Second, you can stiffen the image by pressing your ellbows against your body, so camera shake can be effectively minimized. I am glad I saw this.
