“Setting up for a scene with a crane in a ‘one-er.’ A ‘one-er’ is a scene which is captured without coverage so it plays out in only one long shot. This requires a lot of coordinating details – from the movement of the camera and the actors, to the background, as well as timing for the different moving vehicles in the frame. In this photo I’m talking to Carlos, our 'A’ camera operator, about the crane movement and speed to ensure the correct timing of the scene.”
“It’s not always serious! Joking around with the cast before the shot.”
“Preparing for a first team rehearsal. Armed with the finder to check the size for the master.”
“Giving some notes to my fellow castmates after our reading rehearsal.”
“When I’m not acting in a scene, I’m able to walk through with the finder and first team which is always a nice way to leave one hat behind.”
“Reviewing playback to ensure we have what we need before we move on to the next set-up.”
“Talking push-in speeds for the next shot with our dolly operator, Jazz.”
