The Newest Arrival

About 2 weeks ago we decided we'd take the plunge and invest in a new piece of equipment for the studio. Brian has wanted a Steadicam for an entire year but it wasn't something we could swing in the budget during our first full year of weddings. Instead we bought and used a much smaller, less expensive Glide Cam which did it's job but "gliding" just isn't FLYING! So we decided to sell the glidecam and were happy to see it go to an aspiring documentary filmmaker in Toronto and then we put in our order for the Steadicam. The 3-4 day delivery time turned into 10 days but sure enough it landed on our door step on Tuesday - left to sit all alone in a big brown box - thank goodness I was home to bring it inside. I guess the UPS driver thought nothing of leaving it there without a signature or ensuring anyone was home. Ironically, the week before the same driver did make me sign for a pair of shoes I had ordered... makes no sense to me, but anyways....
So Brian and Matt now have a new toy to use at all our upcoming 2010 weddings. We can't wait to start incorporating some real flying shots into our wedding films. Stay tuned for our January weddings I'm sure you'll notice some flying for sure.

Here are a few photos of Matt trying it out yesterday.
