Patrick T. Ware on the set of a national defense/law enforcement industry production with the Glidecam Gold. Involved in the filming is the elite JeffCo (Denver) SWAT unit.

Patrick calls for "action" in a deployment scene involving multiple perspective transitions in which the camera interacts with SWAT members. The team leads the action to an on-camera stand-up from the narrator.

Patrick pulls back from the on-going SWAT activity in order to bring into frame the story narrator. Meanwhile, the deployment action continues along a wide plane in the background.

The barricaded subject peers out a window during one of several blocking movement stops within a long transitional sequence in which the camera both follows and leads the talent throughout the house.

The SWAT team and unit leaders share tactical intelligence information inside the mobile command post. Camera position and orientation, relative to the talent, would remain fluid throughout the scene.

A half-circle rolling arch was used to establish a hidden tac-op team member and then reveal his focus of attention in the distance--the barricaded subject standing in an open doorway brandishing a hand gun.

A tac-op team "element" (2-3 men) cautiously approaches an exterior side door in an attempt to deploy an electronic sensing device without being detected by the barricaded subject inside.

The "element" delivers the device by adhering it to the kitchen window. The camera follows the team in very close proximity while looking over the shoulder and down the barrel of the "trailer". A delicate shot made more difficult by awkward footing, a narrow gate, hanging foliage, and an uneven porch staircase design.

A tac-op team member in "low-mode" along with the camera, doing a room search during an especially dramatic and tension-filled sequence in the film.

Patrick uses the camera to function as the eyes of a tac-op team member preparing to confront the subject, who has been successfully located in a bedroom by the electronic device. The Gold allowed for a fluid, dramatically slow creeping movement in an attempt to augment first-person perspective tension.

The end-movement shot. The subject is discovered sitting quietly in the closet. The situation is resolved without force. The camera reveals the talent, ever so slowly, from around the doorframe in the same manner in which a team member would sweep in on a hidden target via an arching motion towards such an aperture.
