STEADICAM
TIFFEN GOLD COURSE TUSCANY 2022
In March of 2022 Misha completed the Tiffen Steadicam Gold Course. it was a one week course with the masters of Steadicam. Chriss Fawcett was the lead instructor with Jacob Bonfils, Valentine Monge, Richard Mallaby, Evram Kaya and Giovanni Gebbia.
The ability to control the equipment with ease and understanding has made my passion for film making grow more than before.
"I aim to let the narrative lead the camera, moving only when the performance motivates."
"I met Misha at the 2022 Steadicam international Gold Workshop in Tuscany Italy where I was one of the 5 instructors, training a new generation of steadicam operators. I must say I was very impressed not only by the motivation and hard work that Misha would readily put out but also his skill level, timing and framing instincts, endurance, and perhaps most importantly his ability to synthesise new information quickly and efficiently. By the time the workshop ended he had already excelled in all aspects of Steadicam and truly become a powerful operator. I'm proud of calling him a colleague and I'm sure he'll be a permanent fixture to our crazy and demanding profession."

"... High mode, low mode, low high mode, high low mode, line dancing, switching from Don Juan to Missionary (steadicam language), wrong side operating and the combinations ... all of this ... He can ride hard mount vehicles such as quad’s, rickshaw and dolly as well as soft mount step off from rickshaw, Step-on and step-off a camera crane. He can run safely with the Steadicam, and has a lot of potential. The final word with this wonderful guy…he is a natural Steadicam talent ! "
