Students learn from top operator

1 JANUARY 2003

The secret to filming the perfect shot as an athlete lunges for the finish line will be explored when an internationally renowned camera operator visits Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday 22 May and Thursday 23 May. Mr Glen Steer - a Steadicam operator - has worked on nine consecutive Olympic Games, as well as live programs such as The Voice, Celebrity Splash and NRL broadcasts.  During two days of workshops he will teach Bachelor of Arts (Television Production)  students the craft of using this highly specialised camera equipment. “This is an outstanding opportunity for students to network and learn directly from Australia’s most acclaimed operator. It will help boost their career prospects as they prepare to enter the industry,” said Associate Head of the School of Communication and Creative Industries at CSU in Wagga Wagga, Mr Patrick Sproule. “The fact that Mr Steer has taken time out of his busy schedule to provide this workshop is a testament to the industry recognition of our program and the capabilities of our graduates.” CSU has recently purchased a full Steadicam system which students have used to film public events such as Twilight by the Lagoon and the Food and Wine Festival in Wagga Wagga.
