Citation: To GARRETT BROWN and JERRY HOLWAY for the creation of the Skyman flying platform for Steadicam operators.
Note: This cable-driven, manned camera platform allows the operator to spin 360 degrees for unimpeded pans while controlling the downhill speed via brakes. As a device for achieving otherwise impossible shots, Skyman has had a definite influence on later cable-suspended camera systems.
