Wonderful web site and lots of interesting stuff here. A guy could waste some time if he wasn't careful. I kid, I kid. But seriously folks - I love to see a Hollywood camera high on a big crane and there are some very famous ones out there with lots of history.
I'm talking the cranes that shot all the famous stars and big budget movies. The ones that had the kind of sweeping down from the sky to ground level shots that you identify the entire move with. They made you think. how did they do that? Obviously, in this day and age it is commonplace but in the 30's, 40's and 50's - it was special.
I will try to find some photos of those big budget movie crane shots. But I was hoping that some of you already had some to share?
In the meantime, my submission is this meager shot of a "I dream of Jeannie" crane on it's way to the shoot. That BNC looks pretty high up to me.
