Hey guys, I could use your help. I'm about to embark on a rather interesting shoot. It's going to be a 30 minute long continuous steadicam take. Shooting on a 35mm @ t/4 on the Alexa. I could use some advice in regards to the set-up and what technique you think would work best. I'm familiar with pulling remotely on steadicam rigs, but this is a first for me when it comes to the length of the take combined with the complexity of the moves. The op will be going back and forth between crane, dolly, and roaming. I would love to get your opinion on which gear to go with for the following 1) Wireless follow focus (leaning towards preston) 2) Wireless transmitter/receiver (would appreciate a money no object, and then a "reasonable" option) 3) Possibly a monitor (see below). I'd also love to get some input from you guys in regards to technique. 1) Typically, in the past, I've always followed and pulled along side/behind the steadicam op but that may be difficult this shoot. Would you advise trying to stick with him or go the route of pulling wirelessly from a monitor? 2) Is there a way to rig a smaller 5-7" monitor to the preston with a cinetape readout and a wireless video feed etc. so I could somewhat follow with the steadicam op? Would that be a better route to go than sitting next to a 17" field monitor? 3) Also, I'll be using cinetape for the first time in my career. Do you guys have any suggestions or is there anything I should prepare myself for? I'm still not entirely 100% sure about the mechanics insofar as how it functions and knows what the camera is looking at. I know it's there simply to be a spot check and I shouldn't rely on it. 4) Do you think that 1-2 anton bauers could actually power the camera, WFF, cinetape, and all the other gak for a 30 minute take? Any other tips for pulling on extremely long takes would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance guys! I really value the advice I've gotten on here in the past!

Hey guys, I had a couple questions for you ACs out there concerning a few random things 1) When using IRND filters or true cut filters do these go the furthest away from the lens or closest to the lens (insofar as order in the mattebox) 2) Regarding pulling focus in mirrors, are there any tricks? How do you measure distance if you're running tape? Do you still "focus away" if the subject moves further away from the mirror or would you in fact focus it closer? 3) When doing tail sticks, do you clap before or after you flip it? I've seen both 4) I might have the chance to use cinetape in the near future, how does one actually aim it or keep it on a subject assuming the subject is moving and won't be in the same relative spot of the frame for a whole take? 5) I'll have my first chance to pull on anamorphic lenses coming up, is there anything special I should know? 6) What pens do you guys use on your FF? I have some nice fine point dry erase pens but I can't find a reliable and easy way of erasing it off the FF disk (cleanly). I tried using the eraser tips from my fatter dry erase pens but they don't work very well. I've resorted to just getting some spit on a chem wipe and using that, since it works remarkably well. I just feel silly doing it. Thanks in advance guys
