I love how the focus puller has got his eyes on the little monitor, focusing correctly even when the potato is commanding the gimbal.

[@RBeeMedia]

It absolutely blows my mind that he's able to stay on focus despite the tiny monitor !

[@niijosiah]

the potato ..haha

[@K0S0s]

@@RBeeMedia (Ive been pulling focus WAYYY less than Geoffrey) usually we only look at the monitor as a reference when pulling focus. Its much easier to see if the actor is getting closer or further away from the camera just by looking at that distance instead. Pretty easy after some practice to see that the actor missed their mark by 1 foot, and you just pull it as it happens. Check the monitor to make sure you are safe with your depth of field and keep looking back at the action.

[@PsyDei]

He's the real MVP, without him, all that fancy movement would be out of focus.

Ari I love that you shared that story about the injury to the face. You spoke with your director firsthand and he didn't communicate back to you - I love the topic of accountability. It's a good heart-connection. Wooww watching that thing move is like VFX - I am amazed at how cool that thing looks. Also, on a different note. Nobody ever talks about the cameraman - but if he messes up everyone has to start over.

[@thedave7760]

@@phantomoftheopera371 As an operator of course you can buy. If you want to use one on your shoot then you would hire an owner operator who owns the whole rig with vest, arm, sled and trinity. Not sure how much the trinity is but a high grade steadicam with bells and whistles you can expect to pay £40,000 - £80,000 I would imagine Arri would charge you about £20,000 - £50,000 for the trinity to add to your existing sled. Cameras and lenses not included, different productions use different cameras and lenses so you would hire them as needed. I used to be an operator trust me Arri will sell you anything they have but 600k$ is way too much no one would buy them.

When Ari put on the rig, began moving around, and talking about how the rig was a part of him, and that you had to be aware of everything, move as one. I was thinking "This is like learning The Art of Stabilization" from a martial arts master.
