Behind the Cameras: Cinematographer Garrett Brown.
Cinematographer Garrett Brown, who in 1978 won an Oscar for his invention of the Steadicam, a camera-suspension system that eliminates the jiggle in hand-held shots. His shots are striking; They include scenes from "Rocky," running up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum, in "The Shining", when the young child is chased through the garden maze, and from "Return of the Jedi" the speeder-bike chases. BROWN also invented the Skycam, a process whereby a camera is suspended by cables over a large span, like at a football field. (Rebroadcast of 01/14/1985)
