Devin Ladd: Elevating Visuals as an NYC based IATSE 600 Steadicam Operator
Hello! I'm Devin Ladd, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to my website. With a diverse portfolio encompassing feature films, television shows, music videos, commercials, short films, and documentaries, I offer substantial film production expertise backed by over a decade of steadicam experience. My versatile equipment enables me to navigate various locations with ease, primarily catering to the tri-state area while maintaining the flexibility to go wherever the project demands. For example, I traveled to South Carolina for "The Righteous Gemstones," and returned the following month to work on NBC's "The Blacklist" in NYC.
Having started out in New York as an On-Set Dresser on shows such as Damages and Royal Pains, I gained invaluable insights into maneuvering through the intricacies of a film set as I collaborated closely with talented Directors, DP's, operators, decorators and production designers. This direct interaction with industry experts deepened my comprehension of framing techniques, from conceptualization to execution.
In the decade since my transition to operating, I've been fortunate to enjoy an uninterrupted flow of work. I carry with me the invaluable lessons acquired from my formative years in the industry as well as my earlier experience filming live events such as sporting events and concerts such as Billy Joel, Justin Timberlake, The Eagles and many more.
Spanning from intimate short films to taking charge as A camera on large productions featuring extensive backgrounds and incredible stunts, I believe my diverse experiences empower me to adeptly steer and lead on any film set. My passion lies in the art of filmmaking, and the Steadicam has proven to be an exceptional tool in this pursuit. By wielding this remarkable instrument I can transform seemingly impossible shots into realities. Please feel free to reach out anytime to begin our collaboration.
