Josiah Prigg Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hello again, I am just wondering what it would be like as a dolly grip to collaborate with a camera operator on a production set? Are they fun people in general to work with? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Rosenbloom Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It's a pretty good gig; you're right in the middle of the action. As far as operators being "fun," I don't know that that's the right question. Usually, they're professional, pleasant, thoughtful. Supporting someone in making his work look good is often a good basis for a good relationship, but - as with anyone, there are no guarantees. It's very important as a dolly grip to take charge of your own work. You can't be the operator's puppet. If you get a monitor and demonstrate you can follow the action without being baby sat, you'll have a mutually beneficial relationship. That said, the one's you have to worry about are the AC's :) .
