Jacob Potter - Steadicam/Trinity 2 Operator

I’m Jacob Potter, Steadicam and Trinity 2 Operator. I’ve been at it for two years now, working across TVCs, music videos, and narrative projects. I genuinely love what camera movement can bring to a story, and I’m always excited to team up with talented filmmakers who want to use it to shape emotion and pull audiences deeper into the visuals. My website’s in the bio—feel free to reach out. I would love to chat. Thanks to @tomsouchaud / @sushomedia_ for the incredible headshots, and @offshoot_ for the use of their space and overall help and support with my steadicam career.

Incredibly proud of this project from last year. It was amazing to collaborate with @noquestionsband , @offshoot_ and the talented @scott.pope.dp , combining both Steadicam and the Trinity 2 to create a beautifully crafted live performance recording.

Had the opportunity to work with @two_tractors last year on their Godfrey Hirst Hybrid flooring TVC. The entire spot was shot on the Trinity 2, using the superpost to get some seriously crazy jib-like angles.

There’s something magic about mixing 16mm and Steadicam. Thoroughly enjoyed working with @_hassanhadi and @arabianshampoo on @sjaybaby_ new music video 'SPEED LIMIT'. So proud of how it turned out.

Blending movement and technology. Last year I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate on a dance documentary using the Trinity 2, utilizing its 2-axis gimbal to add an extra layer of visual interest that enhances the choreography.

Better late than never sharing this project from last year. An amazing experience working alongside the incredibly talented @seankirkwood_dp in the heart of the CBD. Always a blast shooting in my favourite city, especially when you get to weave through a crowd of extras and work with the Melbourne Diamonds.

Had a great time working with the increadibly talented @finn.morris and @hen_r___y doing steadicam for @daisypickerband 's single 'WHERE WAS I?' featured on @rageabc .
