Bobbitt worked with director Steve McQueen on <em>12 Years A Slave<\/em>, which won <em>Best Picture<\/em> at the 86th Academy Awards. It offers a fascinating insight in to the practical activity of operating a camera &#8211; while most of us will never actually shoot a film, some of what Bobbitt says might come in handy for the handycam shooting of our kids&#8217; birthdays and other personal events &#8211; and it&#8217;s just a damn good talk nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enjoy Mr Bobbitt&#8217;s work by hitting the video after the jump!!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IHcYjKpJb-I\" height=\"480\" width=\"853\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buuut, that&#8217;s not all folks! We&#8217;ve also decided to include a shorter video from Bobbitt, on the work he has done with McQueen down the years, and a more focused snippet on the decisions made in filming <em>12 Years A Slave<\/em>.
