Panavision is a motion picture equipment company specializing in cameras and lenses, based in Woodland Hills, California. Formed by Robert Gottschalk as a small partnership to create anamorphic projection lenses during the widescreen boom in the 1950s, Panavision expanded its product lines to meet the demands of modern filmmakers. The company introduced its first products in 1954. Originally a provider of CinemaScope accessories, the company's line of anamorphic widescreen lenses soon became the industry leader. In 1972, Panavision helped revolutionize filmmaking with the lightweight Panaflex 35 mm movie camera.

Steadishots.org

In SteadiShots.org some of the most memorable shots in television and cinema history are put on display. It is a site where professionals and admirers of the industry can come and learn about the organization required to create something that, when viewed on screen, seems so effortless.

Usually found about halfway down the list of credits, the Steadicam Operator is one of the most skilled and hardest working people in show business. This site is dedicated to them.

SteadiShots.org is a study of filmmaking on an individual shot level, focusing on the field of Steadicam operation. It was created by Afton Grant, a Steadicam owner and operator from New York. In listening to the conversations of other operators, it seemed as though shots, operators and productions were often discussed, but there was rarely actual footage to support the conversations. With a background in internet development, Afton set out to provide that resource.

For those that do not know, the Steadicam* is actually a combination of several large pieces of equipment, worn on the operator's body that support the camera. The design of the equipment allows for the operator to walk and move about, without translating his or her footsteps or other vibrations into the lens, and subsequently the shot. There is plenty of information on the Internet about how the Steadicam works, how it is operated, and what it is like to be an operator. A simple search engine query will return thousands of results.

SteadiShots.org is entirely non-profit. It invites collaboration and the exchange of information. It is an entirely free service to use. Revenue from advertising covers operating costs only.
