Smoothing my vacation memories Hi, I'm Felipe from Chile and I would appreciate a lot your feedback on my essay! --- I like to travel a lot and when I do it I like to record all I see and all places I've been with my camera. But when the vacations are over and I get home, I realized that none of these footages I took were interesting, for the same reason I didn't show them to anybody. So, I was wondering, what can I do to shoot amazing footages? First, I searched what are the most important features that a camera should have to make wonderful shots. After reading some articles, it comes that a fancy tool doesn't make miracles for you but the skills you have as a photographer is the main key. This means that I should improve my skills through a lot of practice and by learning the principal techniques. Despite this, I still wanted to acquire a new tool that helps me in the process of converting in a professional recorder. I found that a Steadicam was what I needed. A Steadicam is a device whose purpose is to compensate the sways and bounces of a video and converting a footage in something less amateurish. Since its first use in Rocky it has become ubiquitous and seems like nowadays it has been used in many big movies. A professional Steadicam looks like a harness that allows the cameraman to walk, jog, and go upstairs while recording in a smooth way and concentrating only in what is intended to catch. But those are really heavy (around 90 lbs) and not adequate for what I wanted. There are also a lot of less professional but still handy alternatives that allow stabilizing a movie and I hope I could improve my footages with these tools.

I like travelling a lot and when I do it I like recording all I see and all the places I've been to with my camera. But when the vacations were over and I got home, i always happened to realize that none of these footages I took were interesting and for the same reason I didn't show them to anybody. So, I was wondering, what can I do to shoot amazing footages?

First, I started searching for the most important features that a camera is generally acknowlodged to need for making wonderful shots. After reading some articles, it comes that a fancy tool doesn't make miracles for you but the skills you have as a photographer is the main key. This means that I should improve my skills through a lot of practice and by learning the principal techniques. Despite this, I still wanted to acquire a new tool that helps me in the process of converting myself into a professional ( recorder? Shooter) and i recently learnt that a Steadicam was what I really needed.

A Steadicam is a device whose purpose is to compensate the sways and bounces of a video by converting a footage into something less amateurish. Since its first use in Rocky it has become ubiquitous and nowadays it is commonly known to have been used in many big movies. A professional Steadicam looks like a harness that allows the cameraman to walk, jog, and go upstairs while recording in a smooth way , concentrating only on what is intended to be caught. But those are really heavy (around 90 lbs) and not adequate for what I want. There are also a lot of less professional but still handy alternatives that allow a movie to stabilize  and I hope I could improve my footages with these tools.
