Garrett Brown invented the Oscar-winning Steadicam camera stabilizer
and used it to shoot over a hundred movies beginning with Rocky (1976). He
holds 50 patents worldwide for camera devices including: Steadicam JR
for camcorders; Skycam, which flies on wires over sporting events: and
Mobycam, the underwater camera that chases the swimmers at the
Olympics. These were recently joined by the vertiginous,
Emmy-award-winning Divecam and the ultra-light aerial film camera
called SuperFlyCam. Garrett has recorded for MGM as a folksinger, made
TV commercials, shot films for 1, rue Sésame (1969), and was the other half of the
ad-lib duo on the popular Molson and American Express radio
commercials. He is a member of the American Society of
Cinematographers, the Directors Guild, the Screen Actors Guild and the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. His popular lecture on
"The Moving Camera" has been seen at film festivals and schools,
including the Media Lab at MIT.
