BONUS EPISODE: SOC A Camera Operator Panel Discussion
Last week the SOC hosted So You Want To Be An A Camera Operator (hint it's more than just panning and tilting) at the Chapman facilities in Atlanta. Operators Matt Petrosky, Chris Duskin, Jessica Hershatter, Greg Faysash, Brigman "Briggs" Foster-Owens, Dave Chameides and Dolly Grip Eric Zucker discuss the 95% of the job of being a camera operator that has nothing to do with with operating itself. Interpersonal skills, working with a new dolly grip, when the director and the DP aren't agreeing on things, we discuss the part of the job that is not always as easy to learn as landing a frame.
