Oscar-winning inventor Garrett Brown has taken camerawork to new frontiers. In he history of motion-picture technology, few operators have had a more profound effect on camera movement than Garrett Brown. Preceding the prototype's successful debut in 1972 for ABC Sports (covering female jockey Robyn Smith on a 600foot uncut walk from weighing room to paddock), Brown sent out an "impossible shots" reel that included a scene of his girlfriend and future wife Ellen ascending the 72 steps at the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with, miraculously, nary a camera wobble. Referring to operating the Steadicam, the Academy Award-winning inventor offered an analogy "It's like painting while riding a horse," says Brown.
