BTS of Myself, @oliver.churm @abililyjones and @twiggr10 walking Asake from his dressing room up back to the audience. The overall take was over 6 minutes long navigating a tight corridors, 4 flights of stairs to then finally appear in the crowd… down the stairs again and finally back stage. Ngl it was TIGHT in the crowd with no room to breathe! Nonetheless a great team effort and a pleasure shooting for the fantastic @halpilkington and @christivnsaint 👌🏼 #steadicam #behindthescenes #bts @aco_uk #lensbible #cinematography 18 Oct 2026 The next patron we'd like to say thank you too and highlight are @Tiffencompany . Tiffen have a whole range of brands but are best known to operators for their incredible range of filters and of course the Steadicam brand of camera stabilisation. Thank you so much for all your support! Tiffen: "The ACO is a hugely important organisation comprising as it does working camera people. It offers experienced people an association of like minded colleagues and less experienced people an aspirational path for their career. From the Tiffen point of view very many of the members are our existing friends and customers so it is good to have a place where we can share discussions, views and look for feedback from a practical viewpoint." #cameraoperator #steadicamoperator #gimbleoperator 15 Oct 2026 New podcast out now on The Op!!!! Cinematographer Simon Dennis talks knowing yourself, when to move on, Peaky Blinders, Hollywood and so much more. Out now at theop.io/podcast and wherever finer podcasts are streamed. Check it out today!!!!! 11 Oct 2026 The Gentlemen S2 Ep8 Ep8 City Shootout The scene discussed in the Glassknuckle office is a proposed sting operation. What you see on screen is a condensed edit of what we filmed over two full days, with detailed storyboards helping us plan, schedule and execute the sequence. We brought in a Stabileye Nano from @stabileyeuk, now acquired by @camerarevolution, for the entire chase sequence featuring Eddie Horniman (Theo James). A lot of the action was cut, but what remains is a tight edit featuring a little gunfire, stunt work, dolly tracks, zooms and some running (not me this time!). Set-ups like these require careful planning, concentration and a huge amount of effort from everyone involved. #cameraoperator#thegentlemen#netflix#steadicam#filmmaking#netflixuk 📸 via inssist.com 09 Oct 2026 This weeks patron we'd to thank is @creativevisionfinance providing finance solutions for film and tv professionals to acquire the tools they need. Thanks so much for your support! CVF: "CVF is proud to support the ACO. We spend a lot of time speaking to people in the industry, and it’s clear that finance can feel a bit daunting or just more hassle than it’s worth. We keep things straightforward and human, so getting the kit members need doesn’t become a barrier to the work they want to create. The ACO plays a big part in supporting that community, so being involved genuinely means a lot to us." #cameraoperator #steadicamoperator #gimbleoperator 08 Oct 2026 Ep 7 Nannie’s and the Soldier We shot several Steadicam sequences on zooms and did a fair bit of chasing and running from various characters. However, I have picked this short sequence, which highlights efficiency in blocking. The move itself is quite simple, developing from a push in and spiralling around the gunman. It’s all about timing, whilst remaining tight on our character, we show the audience Nanny (Benjamin Clementine) escaping unnoticed in the background and then shift room onto the right side of the frame for his gun to appear. Both director, Nick Rowland @nickfilm and DOP Dan Atherton @dathers.dp created and sustained an intriguing sense of tension across the scenes in Episode 7. #cameraoperator#thegentlemen#netflix#steadicam#netflixuk#filmmaking 📸 via inssist.com 06 Oct 2026
