Operated Ronin Gimbal for very complex long takes for action feature film. Director was very particular and detailed for the shots. I had several marks going from close up to wide shots, from low to high angles and from slow pacing to running following actors through out a house. In addition to composition I had to be mindful of fitting through doorways and for my monitor not to hit thresholds and also to dodge areas so I didn't create shadows. The director complemented saying that I nailed it and that the shots looked even better than he imaged in his head.
