Video Equipment List

Carl Wiedemann : Chicago Steadicam Operator, Videographer, FilmmakerI work as a freelance Videographer on corporate, documentary, and dramatic projects. I can gather creative b-roll, shoot interviews, and am adept with videography in unstructered documentary situations. I can also work in a more cinematic mode for projects requiring more refined imagery.

I have an extensive background in Dance Documentation and Steadicam Operation. I am based in Chicago. Various work samples can be viewed here.
