About your instructors:

Egon Stephan Jr.
“Like father, like son” they always say, yet nowhere has this cliché been more true than when you apply it to the love of filmmaking shared between Egon and his father. Egon began his professional career at an early age, eventually running the camera rental department for his father at the ripe young age of sixteen!

After a six-year stint as the camera rental manager of CineVideoTech, he pursued his love for film in the field, running up an impressive list of credits. He worked his way up from technician to second assistant, second to first, first to operator, operator to second unit Director of Photography, second unit DP to Director of Photography on his first feature film, “Jungle Juice”, starring Christopher Walken, Morgan Fairchild, Robert Wagner and Rutger Hauer.

Shortly after this achievement, Egon’s father fell ill and his duty to continue the legacy his father had begun took precedence over his own successful career. He took over the helm at CineVideoTech in 2002 and has since been busy recreating the company that has launched so many successful careers into a vision of what is to come.

I remember the days of shooting on a Mexican Panaflex, the CP 16R hard-cabled to a Nagra in college. I loved the Cinema Products' GSMO too. Mighty small with the short Angenieux zoom. Used to shoot the Drag Races at Lions and at Pamona. I grew up with a dude who worked at the NBC affiliate in town. They always had twice as many camera kits as cameramen (no women then) and I always had free access to that gear, always. I subbed in the darkroom there. Processed my film there too. I bought my own film too. His family owned the station. I bought my own used Angenieux orientable viewfinder for the CP and a twin-reeled, hand-cranked Moviola for editing . I used their sound head. Sandburg's Lincoln was filmed with a CP 16. California Institute of the Arts had the French Eclair NPR and ACL cameras. We called them Irish Panaflexes. USC and UCLA had Arri 16 S and BL cameras. Got to go to AFI. They had EVERYTHING! I remember when Panaflex first came out with their 16mm 'Baby' Panaflex. Beautiful. Garret Brown rigged a Panaflex 35 to one of his very first production Steady-Cam systems. Gordon Willis' eyes almost popped out! That guy could dance ballet with that rig!! Go Garret, go! The good old days.

I miss these cameras. Used to work with them extensively up to the mid 2000s. Whole kit would fit on a Rubbermaid cart. Lots of TV series and MOWs. And 1000s of mile of film loaded.

'The SR is a silent camera' - sort of. I used to be a location sound recordist and I can tell you that the SR is not silent, even with a blimped mag. OK outside but in small interior locations it was far from silent and so microphone choice and positioning was all important, especially on close up dialogue shots. It was also imperative to get the film loop the right size or it sounded like a diesel engine - but any camera assistant worth his salt got the loop size right first time every time.
On one occasion our documentary film cameraman was asked how to get the look of a hand held camera when using a 35mm BL - the commercials company had tried rocking and shaking the camera on its tripod and nothing looked right. Our cameraman said that the only way to get the look of a hand held camera was to hand hold it. He then got the job of hand holding the 35mm BL. This called for great strength and skill because of course the hand holding cameraman is always trying to keep the camera as still as it would be on a tripod. We spent four days filming the Acropolis Rally with up and past shots on a tripod while car servicing servicing and interviews were filmed on the shoulder. Rothmans were pleased with the results and used the footage for a cigarette commercial in the cinema whilst the rest of the footage was reduced to 16mm for half hour TV film of the event. Happy days, especially for me as I only had to carry round my Nagra 4.2 plus a bag of tapes and batteries, mic and short boom etc. while the camera assistant had the joy of carrying round a large tripod with a very heavy head plus spare mags, batteries and all the little things needed for his job. And yes there was usually a lengthy walk between our crew bus and each location.

minor correction, Bolex is a Swiss brand, not French.

Thanks for making this video! I've never worked with film cameras but would always drool over them in American Cinematographer.

[jardubs]

The shield fx series was pretty much all in super 16

[pilsplease]

I wish I had one of these for my 16mm film project

[Isabelita]

Hey! Loved this video, super informative. Do both Arriflex SR and Arriflex SRII cameras take the same type of film? I assume yes, and the only difference is the size of the frame? Thanks!

[hipstershep]

Wow, such a convincing performance from Robert De Niro, doesn't he look young!

[NoeliaMariaMG]

Nice video! So I assume, all these Arri SR cameras shoot Super 16mm, they are not like others who need to be converted for that, right?

[Seeattle]

Any good resources to even find any of these cameras? It’s kind of difficult!

[dandavenport]

Egon, back in the past millenium wasn't your dad working out of FL?

[alexeykokh]

Hello. Could you tell me for which price Arri SR are sold?

[CharcoalPencilPusher]

Does anybody reading this have any idea (or even a guess) how much the first Arriflex 35MM movie camera of 1940 weighed? What was the weight in and out of its case with tripod? Also I'm wondering what powered it? Was it electric, and if so, did it need a generator to shoot outdoor scenes? And how much did the generator weigh? Educated guesses will do. Thank you, Don

I want to make my own Frankenstein camera. How exactly did you build that?

[minarimon]

Can I put a video assist on arriflex sr2 ??

[trenillo]

The people that dislike this video can't be serious about filming and video production. 🤣
