Running the Camera

The role in studio production that I like the best so far is running the camera. I like it for a few reasons:

1. I like running the camera because I get to control what the image looks like within the boundaries set by the director. The process of finding the image interests me quite a bit.

2. I really like cameras. I've always been fascinated with how someone can capture a moment in time with a device that is sometimes only the size of a person's fist.

3. By running the camera, I am not in the image that the camera is recording. This means that I'm not as nervous as I would be if I was on the set. Not being nervous is very useful in the studio because it minimizes the risk of mistakes.
