The wheels briefly squeal and we touch down. Instead of stopping the tape, I keep the scene rolling as we step from the small plane and cross the gravel runway. Still shooting, the camcorder looks both ways before preceding us into the grass- roofed airport of Belize City, capital of the lush Central American republic of Belize. Later, on a TV set, these scenes look so smooth and steady, so free of a small camcorder's normal jitteriness that it seems as if we must surely have arrived by magic carpet. What made this footage possible was a startling new accessory called the Stead- icam JR. It was developed by Garrett Brown, who won an Oscar in the 60s for in- | venting the Steadicam\u2014a $40,000, 90-pound contraption that keeps a movie | camera steady and level, even while the cameraman walks, jogs or jumps through a scene. The instrument changed the look and feel of movie action, generating such breathtaking moments as the wolf-eye views in Wolfen, the pursuit through the maze in The Shining and the forest chases in Return of the Jedi. Now, after more than three years of research, Brown has downsized his original invention to make it suitable for lightweight Compact VHS, Super VHS-C, 8mm and Hi8 camcorders. The Steadicam JR (as in \u201cjay-are,\u201d not \u201cjunior\u201d) promises not only to take the jiggle out of hand-held videography, but to make the flowing tex- tures and dynamic rhythms of professionally shot film available to everyone. Since keeping the camcorder steady is among the biggest problems amateur shooters con- front, the Steadicam JR could actually transform the look of home videos. PHCSHAOCORMOTMTR","High & Dry: The author tests the JR while strapped to a speedboat, and atop the temples at Tikal. To find out if this two-pound wonder could deliver the spectacular look and feel of its big brother, I took the JR to Central America for a hands-on travel test.

A new book enti- tled Ramona: Behind the Scenes of a Tele- vision Show (Morrow Junior Books, $13.95), as well as a visit to the set of Nickelodeon's Eureeka\u2019s Castle (more about which later) reveal the long work and hard decisions that go into making a quality children\u2019s show. Given the mas- sive effort required to create program- ming, one can only wonder how any shows at all get made, let alone very good ones. Behind the Scenes involves the cre- ation of Forever Ramona, a limited-run aRs TV series adapted from Beverly Cleary\u2019s N Yop best-selling books. (The ten episodes were repackaged late last year by Warn- er Home Video.)
