Next Wednesday, on a special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we’re speaking with the inventor of the Steadicam: Garrett Brown (YENTL, THE SHINING, BOUND FOR GLORY). He not only invented the tool but also frequently operated it, breaking the new system in on MARATHON MAN, ROCKY, and BOUND FOR GLORY in a single summer in the mid-1970s. We learn about the biomechanics of the human body that informed the design of the steadicam and of the four key aspects of the device that isolate the camera from the human body. Garrett later recounts the day he first used the prototype on BOUND FOR GLORY (its first ever use in a feature film no less!) and how the late cinematographer Haskell Wexler fought for its inclusion. Few people can claim to have changed the way we make movies, and Garrett is one of them!⁠ ⁠ We were thrilled to speak with Garrett.
