On the set of "I Am Stamos"
| Testimonials |
| "I Am Stamos" -Short film "Thanks again for everything David. Your work added so much to the film that I can't really imagine what it would be like without you." -Alex Eastburg, Producer |
| "The location we shot in would have been very difficult for a dolly. Using the Steadicam allowed us to set up much quicker and required far less crew than a dolly would have. The topics of this video were fairly dry and technical. The Steadicam allowed us to keep the pace of the video up, making it easier to watch. I was very happy with what we got from the shoot. Overall I am very pleased and hope to be able to work with you again." -George Christ, Applied Art and Technology |
| "Talking in Your Sleep" -Feature "Thank you so much for doing such great work and being so flexible on set...I really, really appreciate it." -Danica McKeller (Winne from "Wonder Years") Writer/Producer/Director/Actor |
| "I didn't get a chance to thank you for all your hard work... The footage you shot looks great....It sure helped having you there shooting other stuff (with Steadicam)" -Steve Schott, Iowa Teleproduction Center Winnebago tourism video |
| "tvproduction.com traveled to the Oberweis dairy farms and spent days capturing the family devotion that is required to be the best. & Steadicam master David Allen Grove provided breathtaking pictures to carry us from the farm to the city." -Michael Altman Davis, TVProduction.Com (Chicago) |
| I first worked with David Grove on the PBS home improvement show, "About Your House with Bob Yapp" After seeing a need for camera movement in the show, I referred him to the show management as someone who, not only is a master at the craft of Steadicam, but is a first rate individual to work with. Now as the president of True Player Productions, directing and producing the upcoming feature "The Private Public", in association with North Sea Films, I have chosen to use David's talents to add to the production quality of the film. The Steadicam, in and of itself, is a wonderful and efficient tool for motion picture production, but having David Grove as the operator adds to the package immensely. With his master series Steadicam, and all of his added accessories, he has the capability to perform nearly any camera move, and perform it to perfection. His sense of humor and no-nonsense attitude, make him very easy to work with I would recommend David Grove to any one who needs an added element of professionalism to their project. -"The Private Public" Justin Holstein- Writer/ Producer A North Sea Film in association with True Player Productions |
| "Thanks for a job very well done!! I am very pleased with the way you worked and your great attitude. Please mark in your calendar the Rose Parade production for 2002. Let's keep in touch, I would love to call you back for any other production that we can use a Steadicam." -Pablo Urquiza-Producer/Director, KMEX Univision (Rose Bowl Parade coverage 2001) (I worked the following years again...2003 and 2004) |
| "All Babes want to Kill Me." -Feature Film You did a heck of a job on a difficult hot day and I think you'll be very happy, as I was, with the quality of your work, see you at the screening,:) -Colin Miller, Actor/Director |
| "The recruiting video we produced for a nearby college needed movement. We knew we'd be using a lot of testimonials and rather than using traditional head and shoulders shots, we used David's Steadicam services to provide the action we felt was needed to help hold the viewers' interest. We considered using a dolly, but felt that Steadicam provided an "edgier" feel -a dolly is very structured in its movement, Steadicam allows for much more flexibility. Also, it is much easier to set up (well, it's easier for us because Dave handles all that) than a dolly and track. Steadicam contributed just the look we were hoping to achieve. We were targeting a teen audience and they are used to a lot of movement in what they see on screen. Steadicam allowed us to put a wide variety of movement into what otherwise could have been very un-dynamic testimonials." "We used Dave on another project where we had to match the feel of a computer generated "fly-through" of an office. This "floating" feeling could not be accomplished with a dolly." Sandy Jennings-Hammond-Producer, DHG Productions (Des Moines, Iowa) |
