An incredibly specific rant about steadycam operator jerkfaces and their jerkface mannerisms

Ross:
i'm really over steadycam. i think it should be banned
Liz:
but otherwise things are bumpy!
Ross:
maybe handheld for tight shots, but no steadycam. it's wanky. guys make whole careers out of being steadycam operators and they think they’re hot shit
Liz:
oh really? they probably have lotsa back problems
Ross:
yeah, and i'm like, dude, you are not cool. you just have a pack on. they get all into the choreography of it and boss everyone around. and the director is like "if we listened to you, we'd always do the most obvious thing." arg. hate those turkeys
Liz:
i'm sensing some frustration here
Ross:
they always wear those New Balance trail running shoes
Ross:
feathered hair
Liz:
hahaha. such a specific rant
Ross:
it's like, i work 47 minutes a day and get union rates. and when i'm on, you better appreciate this because it's like ballet, man!
Liz:
can you please write a post re steadycam operator jerkfaces
Ross:
you're getting it
Ross:
this is the post
Ross:
aaand, scene
Liz:
i'm gonna use this by the way. i was not joking
