Life

In 1984, Schaller began training as a camera assistant and then as a cameraman in the Bavaria film and television studios.

After completing his training, he initially worked as a studio cameraman until he specialized in international documentaries in the early 1990s. From the mid-1990s, Curt O. Schaller worked as a cameraman in series productions and as a steadicam operator in TV series, films, shows and documentaries.

At the end of the 1990s, Schaller used his experience as a cameraman or steadicam operator and began to develop his own camera stabilization systems, from which the artemis series from Sachtler / Vitec Videocom emerged in 2001 .

In 2015, Curt O. Schaller developed the (artemis) Trinity system together with the doctorate engineer Roman Foltyn (it is the first camera stabilization system in the world that combines a mechanical stabilization system with an electronic one) and changed in April 2016 with his entire artemis- Product portfolio from Sachtler / Vitec Videocom to ARRI , in order to drive the further development of the artemis systems as product manager for camera stabilization systems.

In addition, Schaller has also been a lecturer in the training of steadicam operators worldwide since 1998.
