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.
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.
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.
Betsy, if you don't have a G and you need one, let me know. I'm pretty sure I have one or two extras. Of course, it will take a little time for the mail, and they're pretty cheap, so you may prefer to purchase.
See ita, you're the most just person I know. FAIR. JUST. RULE KNOWLEDGABLE. Makes you sound sexy, doesn't it?
Betsy, I can be on the lookout for an extra g if you need it. And I totally want to chant "One of us. One of us. One of us" now that you have a book.

Pan and rotate (and zoom, for today) guy wasn't working a dolly, unless I don't understand what one is. I think he was sitting in the tent. The camera was on a crane, being moved in space by a different guy (who was actually at the crane). No one was behind the lens.

My parents go through that too. People are amazed when they don't think 12 miles of no traffic is very far.

I'm a stone hottie, full of mystery, suspense, and unbridled judgmentalism. However, Colin? Really fair too. But I think he does it out of a philanthropy, where I'm coming at it from a "we all suck" bent.
A lot of that depends on the size of the set. The Dolly Grip can be resposible for all of the car mounts and other items on a big set, or on a small TV shoot it could literally be just the guy that moves the camera dolly in the studio.
The DP is also often the guy floating around with what looks like a lens train hanging from his neck.
