RF Glide Camera Operator
Univision 2023
With previous experience operating both static and shoulder mounted RF cameras for other live events and broadcasts, moving forward into specialist camera operation as an RF Glide Cam operator was a fun and exciting move for me. Working with all 5 acts, an experienced remote gallery with tutors and students from the FPBE course at the University of Surrey, I helped to build, clean and operate tracks for each song in the competition. This was all built through the Cue Pilot system, taking my cues not only on cans but also from my phone through Cue Pilot's app, being able to see all the shots and what was coming next magic arm'd to my glide cam.
This ranged from only one or two backpasses during slower songs, such as Scarlett Furness' 'I don't wanna hold my tongue' to continuous movement in track such as winner Cosmos Zero's track 'Encore' where it felt like I never got a break for the 3 minute track!
