In 1975, a cinematographer from New Jersey named Garrett Brown invented the Steadicam -- a wearable rig with counterweights that enabled camera operators to create shots that were never before imaginable. Nearly 50 years later, Steadicam shots are everywhere in movies and TV. The Steadicam revolutionized sports television. My guest on this episode is one of the best in the business. Mike Germond mans a Steadicam for the NFL on NBC, the Olympics, and a variety of other events, including corporate, concerts, commercials, and film. We talk about his path into production, the nuances of wearing the rig, and his upcoming role as the personal shooter for Mike Tirico at the Paris Olympics.
