“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.” Follow Jacob & his work @steadi_potts as well as his website in his bio for more. Thanks to him & @offshoot_  for the use of their space & equipment for this shoot!!

Last week we wrapped on the set for Mirror Man. Big thank you to our incredible cast and crew who helped bring this vision to life. Shout out to any one who has donated to our fundraiser! If you are able to, the link to our GoFundMe is still live, if you can contribute anything, it would be greatly appreciated as we move into post-production. Y’all ain’t ready 👀 #MirrorMan 📷: @niggawitcameras

Two years. From construction site to finished space. This film wasn’t about explaining architecture. It was about feeling it. Movement became the organising principle. The camera never settled. It travelled through the space with intention, tracing lines, volume and light in a single continuous rhythm. @steadi_potts Steadicam work was central to achieving that precision and flow. The grade leaned into the building’s natural palette, subtly amplifying the clarity, contrast and energy already present in the space. We deliberately avoided the familiar architectural photography tropes of blanket warmth and desaturated nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. @adriennerosemusic composed a bespoke score that carried the momentum. Inspired by the tension and lift of Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein’s Stranger Things theme, and @zee._.ntuli ’s work for @audemarspiguet , the music guided the edit’s pacing rather than simply sitting beneath it. Thanks to @offshoot_ for their support. If you have a project that deserves to be felt, not just documented, I’d love to hear about it.

A big thank you to @offshoot_ and @steadi_potts for assisting the production to Swan Boy. Not only did Jacob join us with his expertise, with him be brought the steady cam and the Trinity 2 System. Utilising this equipment in collaboration with @offshoot_ has allowed to elevate our cinematography to a point where the camera dances within the scene. As we continue to finalise the film in post production, we are growing more and more excited to share everyone’s hard work with the wonderful community who has supported us. Once again, we owe a big thank you to Offtshoot, Jacob and our supporters. - The Swan Boy team Photos by @joshdobsonphoto
