I enjoyed watching you speak. I did not know that the steadicam straps onto your body and holds using a band on the back.I never knew that the arm of the steadicam cost $20k+ due to the titanium which is very strong.

Thank you so much for coming to talk to us about your job. I really enjoyed seeing you use it to create a little clip of us in the cafeteria. It was really cool how you let students try on all of your equipment and let them try to control it. It let them see what it is like to use it and what you have to carry around while you are working. Thanks again for coming!

I think that Mannys job is a really cool job. I wouldn't be able to do it in but he can and hes really good at it! The equipment is really heavy and its hard to keep the camera steady and be able to video tape something perfectly and he did it so well! I also appreciate him taking time out of his schedule to come into our school and talk to us. He was insightful and i really loved learning about it even though its probably not the line of work ill choose in the future. I think its important to know about things even if they dont effect your life, someone actually does the jobs you dont think about. Without a job that Manny Torres does, you wouldnt be able to watch all your favorite movies and live TV shows.

Thank you for taking time to come in and demonstrate some of your proficient camera skills for us. By watching clips of some footage from you, I learned about the smooth, proper way to perform arc and dolly shots.

Thank you for showing us the things about a steady camera! It was very interesting to learn about it! I thought it was pretty cool to actually put on the whole set. It was VERY VERY heavy though! But it was fun!

HI Manny! Thank you for coming! I thought what you do was really cool. I especially enjoyed when you showed us how you film with that vest-like thing on you and attached a camera. It really ran smoothly when we walked to the cafeteria. I liked how we got to watch what you just filmed us doing right away. Thanks again!

Thank you for coming, I learned a lot about good shot moves and how to make interview shots better. I also learned that having better shots makes it easier when you are editing.

thanks so much for coming to our school! I learned a lot about the Stedicam and its a very interesting profession. I never realized how much one is used. It was pretty cool to see how it was made of titanium.

Thank you for coming and I learned that most of the shots I've seen on movies used the StediCarmera. I also learned that the StediCamera itself is an expensive piece of equipment

Thank you for coming and showing us how to use a StediCamera. And showing us how to set it up. The StediCamera looks really heavy though. It must be tough carrying your StediCamera when making a movie.

Thanks for visiting us Manny. I really enjoyed seeing how the stedicamera works. I also really liked seeing people put on your equipment. It was really fascinating to see how heavy that equipment could be. It was fascinating to see how steady the shot was after we filmed the lunch room scene and how sharp it was. Thanks for coming!

Thanks for coming in to talk to us. What I enjoyed from the presentation was that we got to see how some shots were made, like the ones that follow people. The equipment that was used was really cool as well, it looked fun to operate.

Thank you for coming to our class the other day. So far this year all we have been doing is working on the computers and editing and creating short movies but it was nice to take a day off the computers and learn about the different careers in this field from someone with first hand experience. I thought it was really funny when you put your camera equipment on other students. I really hope that Mrs. Lazarski brings in more guest speakers whenever possible.

It was fun having Manny come in and teach us a lot about what he knew. It was very informative and I'm glad he took the time out of his day to come. Hopefully we can do something like that again in the future.

Thank you for coming to teach us about StediCamera. It was really cool to see all the equipments. When I watch tv or movies, I never thought about what camera they were using to make the video smooth. It was fun to see how everything works with StediCamera and the video that was filmed using that.

Thank you for coming. I really enjoyed when you made the short scene with us in it and then we were able to watch it. It was really cool to watch you put the steady cam on the students so we could see how hard it really was to operate it.

Hey Kids!!! Sorry i am just seeing this. I am very happy that you all enjoyed my profanity laced demonstration of my Steadicam. I had a lot of fun, and from what i have seen so far, you are ALL very talented. Opportunities abound for young cinematographers like yourselves, and if i can ever be of assistance, just have Mrs. Lazarski send up the Steadicam signal...and i'm there. Happy Shooting!!
