Luke: On this event johan had help of a remote focus operator. Normally he must set the focus manually.

there is someting strange about this video. take a look at the first guy. lights turn on as the cam man stand exactly at the left hand site of the singer. but when you can see the cameras view lights turn on much earlier.... hmm

[disneyn]

The clips where the stedicam operator is visable is shooted at the rehersals and the tv-footage is shooted the day after at the tv-broadcast. Thats why some minor details in the video are diffrent :-)

[Imager123]

I'm pretty attentive, huh?^^

[disneyn]

Impressive, I'll say! :-D

[eurovisionandmore]

thanks for this great video! have you got more melodifestivalen clipes of your camera? please upload them.

b.t.w. the shots where you and the camera are appearing were shot at the rehearsals for the melodifestivalen and not at the evening of the contest,right?

[disneyn]

Q1: I have more but yet not edited. I hope to add some more clips later..

Q2: Correct the shots where you can se Johan operating is shot on the rehersals for the show and the acutal tv-footage is from the evning after where the real broadcast was transmitted.

Thanks for your kind comment :-)

It's simply amazing what Johan can do with his Rig. It's a EFP, a rig which still rocks with today modern Steadicams.

It's like playing the violin, you can see Johan has a lovely relation with his girl (the rig) and that's shows this fantasic moves, the great locks and overall superb steady shots ..

Simply love your work Johan

Best, Erik

[Viccegunde94]

Anyone have more clips from Johan Sandklef's good job? :D

[icecubemovies]

That's really cool. He's good at it. I'd love to be a camera operator and I know some pretty good techniques, but I don't know if I could lift that much.

[Justin9Noble]

this dude is good at this

[Deal481]

how called the song at 3:31 ???

[Celicalover231]

Steadicam Operating is like a Dancing with his camera.

[KeTeVemCovers]

I always thought that movements were made by a jib or something like that

[Deal481]

yeah amazing job!

[stedicam78]

@Phaero Yes I know I´m pretty average, but I was at the Eurovision in Russia 2009 as well, and eurovision 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008 so I guess I´m ok at least.
