Focus Pulling on a feature film for the first time, getting to work with some fantastic faces Erick Avari, Cliff Simon and Mike Dopud, as well as meeting some great crew. Shot on Red Dragon 6k and DJI Ronin, with Canon CN-E Prime lenses. I picked up some great tips from Camera Op Mark Hobz and was thrilled to bring Momo Al-Tahan onboard as 2nd AC.
Pulling focus on my SmallHD 502 5″ display instead of a something bigger ended up a win for me, as it packed all the same features of a 702 but was small enough that I was able to run a fully remote focus pulling rig which allowed me to move freely with cast and crew. It was particularly useful for navigating gimbal shots and minimising setup between shots.
