John Pappas, Steadicam® Owner / Operator

I have been in the Television Industry since 1998 and have had an interest in Steadicam since 1999.

I trained at the Steadicam Operator's Association's Pennsylvania workshop which was run by some of the world's best, including Jerry Holway, Mike O'Shea, Jay Kilroy and, of course, the inventor of Steadicam, Mr Garrett Brown.

I work predominately in Sydney and the ACT, and have worked on several projects throughout Europe and the United States.

I regularly assist at the SOA Workshop in Pennsylvania in May and October each year.  

Availability and other information is available on request.
