Everybody is talking about how good that steadicam operator is, but I'm actually more impressed with the 1st AC that pulled that perfect focus the whole time while running behind making sure not to be in the shot!

This beautiful segue off a segway took my breath, for a sec, away.

I remember so many years ago. This was the video that inspired me to be a filmmaker. This is so important. Kubrick would be proud.

Bro jumping OFF a little segway, onto a ramp, into a full sprint, WITH the stablizer? That's actually nuts.

Wow that has a huge potential for failure

Props to that cameraman for being able to dismount that hoverboard so smoothly like damn he didn't miss a beat :0

All this incredibly impressive work from the direction team just for the performance to not even crack into the grand finale. What a shame.

That guy is not a camera man, he's an athlete

The camera operator is really testing that focus puller out xD

Just to clear up the misunderstanding -- many people in the U.S. use the word "ridiculous" when they mean "extraordinary" or "amazing". They actually mean that it is amazing, not that it is worthy of ridicule.

Definitely awesome, if you've ever tried a Steadicam rig on you'd know how hard it is just to make it look not wobbly and seasick - let alone segway to the stage and run multiple 360's :-)
As for the focus pulling, one thing that helped them is that TV cameras use 2/3" sensors, which provide greater depth of field compared to cinematography.

Love the way he just binned the Segway! Incredible to zoom in once on stage and then 360 in a tight centred MCU whilst at like 85mm or more! Tussen takk brawd!

That cameraman is seriously earning his paycheck. I've seen guild/union cameraman just lazily go between 3 different angles and stand there, acting like that's all they've ever had to do and all that they are ever going to do. Also, I wonder how well that girl (guy?) with the sheet blowing into their entire face and body can breathe during that...
