===Steadicam=== {{Main|Steadicam}} A [[Steadicam]] rig was employed during the filming of the 1983 film ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'', in conjunction with two gyroscopes for extra stabilization, to film the background plates for the [[speeder bike]] chase. Steadicam inventor [[Garrett Brown]] operated the shot, walking through a redwood forest, running the camera at one frame per second. When projected at 24 frames per second, it gave the impression of flying through the air at perilous speeds.<ref>Brown, Garrett.
