That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

I'm prone towards the deep reds/browns/burgandies or neutral frosts these days myself. Very picky. Once upon a time, silvers and purples, but nsm now.

If I only had a brain...

I still think it's a kind of magic, that someone standing next to the camera is the one focusing it as it moves around. And some guy not even near the camera is the one rotating and zooming. And the other guy actually moving it around.

Which of these three guys is the cameraman? And who's the cinematographer?

Clearly, Noisedesign is a better woman than you or I, Sheryl.

I am the world's ugliest drag queen.

Lee has witnessed this in person. It's amazing she lived to tell the tale.

Betsy, are you still looking for a G-Hook?

Did you try the yarn store in Los Altos?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Found out I got a freakin' job interview! Hell yea!

Yay! What job?

Also, hi.

I think so, Kat. I got a teach-yourself-to-crochet book.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Colin is trying to convince his girl that you aren't that nice. Why would he do that?

I'd say I have no idea, but then someone might find in their caches where I said he wasn't that nice. Still ... sometimes it feels fair that we're such good friends. In ways we deserve each other.

Which of these three guys is the cameraman? And who's the cinematographer?

I'm reasonably sure that the focus puller (standing next to this really cool cantilevered crane) isn't either -- except he said he normally does zoom, which he handed off to the pan & rotate guy. I have no idea how even ten minutes of footage gets filmed. It seems so complicated.

The words were good and enticing.

Thanks!

And yeah, Kat, Z is a doll.

The guy working the dolly (Pan and rotate guy) is the dolly grip. Focus puller is just that, a focus puller. Typically the guy behind the lens is the Director of Photography or Cinematographer.

I have a plan.

Yay! What job.

Copy editor for a mining company. It's weird, the people I got it through were *very* concerned about my willing to drive all the way out to where the offices were since they were so far away (16 miles). I told them that it was all relative, considering where I used to live.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Betsy, IMDB suggests the term "camera operator" which I'm naively applying to the guy working the crane ... but ... okay, I give up. They talk about the focus puller also being called the b cameraman, but on quick view don't mention the actual camera pointy duties being split.

So dunno.
