    'Quantum of Solace' – Official Blog Report #13

    By Devin Zydel on 2008-06-17

    The official Quantum of Solace blog has been updated today with another crew member from the 22nd James Bond 007 film: go-camera operator/rigger Pat Daily.

    ‘I’m the chief camera operator and rigger for go-camera systems,’ Daily says on location in Italy.

    ‘Go-cam is a wire-controlled camera system. This one is in the 3D phase. We hang the camera from four points and we can basically move that camera from any of those points; up, down, left, right, back and forth.

    ‘It took us a week just to place the cranes in Siena. It’s an ancient city. And then it took us another week to string out all the lines since we have 7,000 feet of line to link through this system. The widest part of it, from one end to the other is 800 feet and they’re about 150 feet above. Our playing area.’
