The tough truths no one talks about and the mindset that keeps you in the game #filmcaremasterclass #steadicam #cameraoperator #arirobbins #onsetreality

Nächste Woche läuft bereits die letzte Folge der Krankenhausserie Krank Berlin. Fotografiert von Tim Kuhn BVK (@tim_kuhn_dop ) und Jieun Yi (@gin_toxic_ ) und mit einer - wie die Beiden sagen - „Wahnsinns-Steadicam“ von Ian Baum BVK (@ian_baum_ ). „Es gab viel choreographiertes Chaos, und beide DOPs gaben mir oft die Freiheit, interessante Details mit der Kamera zu entdecken. Durch diesen Ansatz und die langen Szenen ergab sich oft ein fast tänzerisches Zusammenspiel mit dem Ensemble – ein schönes Gefühl, wenn alles zusammenpasst“, berichtet der Operator. „Technisch war es ebenso interessant: So hatten wir z.B. einen Imageshaker auf der Steadicam und haben mit einer Switchplate im On von Steadicam auf Hand gewechselt. Für die ersten Sequenzen haben wir mit einem 3D-Rig von Stereotec gearbeitet – ebenfalls montiert auf der Steadicam.“ führt Ian weiter aus. „Wir haben mit dem 3D Rig und unterschiedlichen Framerates experimentiert um Schlieren im Bild und eine Art ‚Unterwasser-Effekt‘ zu erzeugen“ ergänzt Tim. Vom beschriebenen Effekt haben wir leider keine Stills bekommen, ihr findet ihn aber direkt am Anfang der Serie. 📷 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 Stills / © Tim Kuhn / Apple TV+ 📷 5 / © Ian Baum 📷 6 Ian Baum / © Jonas Maintz 📷 11 Ian Baum, Tim Kuhn / © Jonas Maintz

First one of the year when it was still cold in beautiful Prague. It was hard work but I am confident we created something worth it. Special thanks to @ngothechau for trusting me to operate A-Cam and to my fellow operator @timmey161 🙏 📸: @jonathan.e.weiske

Not much to say but thanks to all the people I had the pleasure working with last year. Thanks for making this job the best job in the world.

Officially flying the steadicam since 2022! I am super happy and thankful for the chances and experiences last year. This was so much fun ☺️ Thanks to my fellow operators and friends who always support me. You know who you are ❤️ #crewlove #cameraoperator #steadicamoperator #steadicam #cameradept #cameradepartment #cinematography #filmmaking #gpipro #betztools #tiffensteadicam #arri #film #filmmakers #bts #tbt

It’s a wrap. 67 days of pure happiness on set of “Unsere wunderbaren Jahre-Season 2”. Thank you so much @thomas___schiller and @missmirathiel for taking me with you on this trip and trusting me to operate the B-Cam. 🙏 The whole crew and cast was the finest combination of people I can imagine and I am super proud and thankful for the time that we shared together on set. So much respect and love for everyone of you ❤️ #crewlove

Every once in a while I do a little photoshoot with my father @henningbaum_offiziell this one was two years ago and some of the shots were printed in Nov 19 issue of @playboygermany We always enjoy working together 🙏🤗 and just remembered the shooting and that we still like the pictures. The garage and the beautiful cars belong to a good friend. Thanks to my crew who supported me that day🙏 @benjaminweu @maximilian_schulz @kaetsin

Pictures of me holding cameras through the years. 😜🎥 trying to look like a real director of photography 😅✌️First picture is just weeks old - last one is from my very first job as dp in 2016. As dp I always felt that the quality of my work is directly reliant on the work of the people I collaborate with. I was super lucky to always work with so many talented and passionate people. So many of them became friends and some even family 🙏❤️

This one was big fun! Matthew Wood - Sweet Transvestite A crazy space ride brought to life by the „Wood Family“ 🔥🙏

Stills from Naked Cat - Right here, right now. We had only a few hours to shoot this little love story with @leolacy_ and @jolinus.m_pape Sometimes the little projects are the most fun. Thanks to my partner in crime @michaelknoefler for directing and to my badass crew ❤️ @davidfuesgen @benjaminweu @louislustermann @moana_makeupartist @_joycemichele_ @nakedcatmusic

It’s a wrap for the Majorca unit! More than 9 weeks I had the pleasure and honour to work with this amazing crew. One of the best things about my job is that I can meet and work with so many passionate, crazy talented and nice people. Special thanks to dop Friede Clausz for having me! It was a big honour to operate next to @guillemoreno.camera . He taught me not just a lot about operating but also yoga postures 😉 Thanks to the “ninja unit”@juanjomartic @noelald13 and @oscarblau for always having my back on set. Few more days in Berlin ahead until wrap. 🔥🔥🔥
