If I only had a brain...

It isn't a lens train? What is it?

Actually, my book says I need an H, not a G. I think I am going to buy myself a very pretty H as a reward. For something. I'm sure there's something I did that deserves rewarding.

Ah! I closed 14 bugs, or at least changed their status so they aren't in my URGENT OVERDUE box any more.

Betsy, buy a Brittany H. They are made out of birch and carved. So lovely.

Not really. It's got the correct aspect ratio in it for whatever the film is shooting. So you can hold it up to your eye and see how the shot will be framed once it's in widescreen or whichever format you are shooting.

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

Could be the camera assistant. Could be a P.A. on the camera crew. Could still be a dolly grip. Depends on the size of the shoot. Very often there is the DP and then a first and second assisant camera on the crew.

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.

Lord that gave me a turn after all the bra size talk today.

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

I can't picture her or nilly doing this.

No, everyone else would be doing that. Because of the niceness (sorry Lee) vacuum.

Mmm. I'll have to ask Z. Maybe it was two dolly grips, a puller, and a DoP. Seems weird that no one gets called camera operator or cameraman. And by weird, I mean weird to someone who has no clue.

There can be a camera operator on many sets. At times this is the person behind the camera. Though if it's a small shoot the DP will double as their own camera op. If you want to get really crazy, I've seen more than one shoot where the scriptie (Script Supervisor) is doubling as the focus puller.
