I’m very pleased I had the chance to work on the latest music video for XADI feat. With rules changing every week or so and COVID-19 numbers scarily going up every day, it’s difficult to find jobs and have consistency and keep up with good quality jobs. It’s a very challenging moment for everyone in our industry. I’ve been working as a gimbal technician and operator and I can see the big difference between operating that and a Steadicam, both visually and technically. As a camera operator/DP, I believe it’s important knowing how to operate a Steadicam. I’ve been always fascinated by Steadicam and wanted to do some training for a long time but only got the opportunity recently thanks to this Tiffen Workshop. My goal in the next few years is to work more on documentaries, TV commercials and possibly on TV series drama as a camera operator and DP. Until 2020, I worked in-house as a camera operator and DP for a local production company and last year entered the freelance world, working mainly for live-streaming events, branded content and TV commercials. “I started as a freelance videographer in Italy, moving to the UK in 2016.
I’ve been also featured in an article from .uk and here you can find my thoughts about the course: I had the pleasure recently to participate in a Silver Steadicam Workshop, organised by Tiffen at The Bull Hotel in Gerrards Cross, UK.

For this, the film is inspired to be filmed through long takes like David Fincher's and, at the same time, keeping dreamy frames like Federico Fellini's, in order to give a real yet absurd vision of what happened behind those events.” In fact, throughout Antonella’s monologue, we walk through stylised and oneiric setups such as the Moro kidnapping, The Blue Moon Operation and other terroristic/mafia attacks during the Years of Lead. In the film, Antonella, played by Heléna Antonio, walks through oneiric scenarios, being the only voice of this part of history, she confesses what the Stay Behind Operation is: a secret paramilitary organisation created to protect the West from a Soviet Invasion. However, this strangely intertwines with key events of Italy’s history that don’t seem to be related to the object of the mission. This Parallel State takes the form of a hidden figure of the time, Antonella, one of those rare women belonging to the Italian Secret Services, in particular to Operation Gladio. This is the premise of the film, which explores how a parallel State lays behind a lot of unsolved events that changed Italy's history. “ The Cold War has ended but many secrets are still unravelled in Italy.
