Eurovision 2019 - How It's Made: Operating the steadicam

Tim Tønnessen was one of the three steadicam operators at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv. The steadicam operator gets closest to the artists as he is the only cameraman allowed on stage during the shows. Tim has worked with many Eurovision events and showed us what his job entails.

Does anyone realise Eurovision wouldn’t be eurovision without the steadicam? This is literally 50% of Eurovision shots

Stedicam is one of the biggest reasons why I love Eurovision. These people are legends!

Real heroes are the camera man who ran on stage with these heavy cameras

[srdjangavrilovic]

It's amazing how they could remember all the shoots they need to do

[oguzakar]

Thinking about Czech Republic's 7 televotes makes it harder to watch the video

[CHEEKY_MONKEY]

That fast turn with the camera at 3:14 was impressive

[escpower]

Respect to those people, because without them we wouldn't be able to see the performance on the TV and YouTube !

If the Eurovision song contest 2019 was so increrible, i CAN'T wait for next Kisses from Greece!!!

[dalehitchcock]

Always amazed by the steadicam shots and how quickly the cameramen get out of the next shot.

This must be among the most challenging camera operator jobs in the world - so much to remember. When the bands rehearse on stage, they rehearse on stage.

[kaickf.r.goncalves]

It's really cool for the channel to highlight the people who made the show possible! Thank you, Tim, for recording all of these Eurovision moments in such intuitive angles that make it so much more personal and enjoyable!
