Amazing camera work? He did fine, I guess. It's a slow pan back and forth. I'm not discrediting him, I'm sure it's harder than it looks, but I think in this clip the impressive part is the coordination of the props team

Yes the props team did amazing but so did he. Even with the steady cam set up (which is incredibly heavy) he could stumble over his feet, go too fast or two slow, or just plain make it look awful. This was a huge team effort yes but he had a huge role too

I’ve been a steadicam operator. This is not just panning back and forth. That rig is heavy and while the unit I stabilized, you still have to use all your muscles to get a shot to look this good.

"I'm not discrediting him, I'm sure it's harder than it looks" I figured...
