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

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.

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.

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

Copy editor for a mining company. It's weird, the people I got it through were *very* 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.

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

FAIR. JUST. RULE KNOWLEDGABLE. Makes you sound sexy, doesn't it?

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.

Our wings are not tired

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.

But Colin, also utterly charming. That's where he wins. though his girl seems genuinely nice. Like nicer than all y'all combined.

I have a plan.

'Tisn't the first time that's come up for me out here either.

So what do you call the guy who's panning and rotating the camera, but is sitting over there?

Like nicer than all y'all combined.

Dude, if her and Nilly ever got together, I think the rest of the human race might need to commit suicide in shame. Or turn on each other and rip each other to shreds. Whichever.

I can't picture her or nilly doing this.

Dad rides his bike 10 miles to work daily. Basically from one end of a pretty small city to the other. Spread out west.

I don't know any real life too nice people. Well, ok a few.
