Camera Operators -
A camera op generally operates at the instruction of the director, and the composition (or framing) of their shots may be left to their own initiative, or instructed specifically to the director’s desire. A talented camera op has a natural feel for shot composition and light factors; takes instruction well, and has good stamina and stays attentive on a long day’s shoot, in addition to a good instinct to the action taking place.

The Camera Operator's Role in the TEC Studio-
