I'm shooting a short in a few weeks and trying to decide between Letus or RedRock. I'm shooting with a Panasonic AG-HMC150. Any suggestions?

This is all great advice. Thanks! This is what I was hoping to hear. Often I'll be hesitant to ask for rehearsals, etc. on the first day of a new show, but that's usually a bad idea. I always do the best I can and that seems to be what is expected, as long as you're not a total screw up, which I like to think I am not. Thanks again everyone!!

I've been a 1st for about a year now, so I'm relatively new to the position. As far as pulling focus is concerned, I'm not bad, but on more complex shots (longer lens, less stop, etc.) I won't always get it right on the first take, especially on low budget, fast paced indie work where a camera rehearsal doesn't always happen. So my question is, do most DPs expect the focus to be sharp and perfect every time, or is there a little room for the occasional error?
