Videography Rates

Carl Wiedemann : Chicago Steadicam Operator, Videographer, FilmmakerThese days I'm primarily working as a Steadicam Operator however I do have significant videography experience on corporate, documentary, and dramatic projects. I can gather creative b-roll, shoot interviews, and am adept with videography in unstructured documentary situations.

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