Ever heard of a "famous" camera operator? Not really, right? That's because they're consistently overshadowed by a distinct chain of command. In the process of crafting a shot, you've got your director with a vision, your DP setting up the course for that vision, and then you've got the guy who physically translates that vision to the camera. How that guy decides to get there however, is arguably one of the most important decisions made on set.
"As a camera operator, you’re setting up a shot and you say, "Okay, the shot starts here and it ends there..." Everything in the middle, all those thousands of choices, are ours. Thats what we do — we fill in the gaps."
