On today's Tech, No Babel: Director Tips for Camera Ops

Having been spent time in both the director's chair and in the camera operator seat, I thought I'd share some of the tips I've picked up so that camera ops can be as helpful as possible to their directors:

  1. Allow extra time in the shot.

  2. Keep an eye on the screen.

  3. Plan shots and always have an alternate plan.

  4. Listen hard.

  5. Lead up; don't resist leadership.
