about minute 1:14 you'll see it. This has to be the funnest day on set for the camera operator. I wonder if its a camera operator or a stuntman shown how to operate for that shot the camera (I fear the later) I would do it in a second. Anyway for those who haven't watched it yet, its a short shot of a camera guy running off the roof with the stunt man in Bourne Ult. Looks like a blast, and a cool shot to boot. I wish I could find more in-depth info on this stunt.

It's a big enough show they might have union issues with letting a stuntman operate. I hope it's the/an operator. We should get to do fun stuff like that more often.

[Mitch Gross]

B-camera operator, and he received hazard pay for the day.

[Brad Grimmett]

Looks like fun. Cool shot too.

[Michael Collier]

Haha Right on, glad to hear that stuntmen don't get all the fun. Looks like they did the shot as simple as they could, technically. I don't see a follow focus motor, which leads me to believe they shot at a high appeture and estimated distance and went for it. looks like a little cam too like an eyemo or 235, but the shot is too quick for me to really tell. Im sure once the DVD is out there will be a bit more footage of the stunt avalible. I work in the news, I am sure I will get an electronic press kit, and that will have more for sure. (I love those EPKs, they actually have long elaborate behind the scenes shots, not those 3 second clip montages the edited packs get.)

I just came back from a day of shooting, sat down and watched a package I shot air nationally only to be utter deflated when the press kit for 'Bourne' ran directly after my stuff.

 

Now that's camera operating!
