Some don't think this way lorClown said:actually assistant means u do everything the photographer tell u to do and dont argue.
even if he tell u buy drinks or run errands.
you're there to make the whole production more efficient.
it's not the photographer's job to teach u skills and such so dont expect him to do so and get upset when he doesnt.
that's the problem.._espn_ said:Some don't think this way lor
The framing of the shot is dictated by the storyboard...locking camera means he must ensure the camera position is fixed. This is especially important when we need to montage several elements/pictures into the final product. If there is no assistant at the camera. I am sure someone will get itchy and go touch or shift the camera setup....it has happened to me before...client go shift the camera 3m behind so she can walk and have a chat with the model...got to reshoot all eight pictures required as the camera position is gone le.ady said:Hi. Thanks all for the interesting input.
Astin & Tuck Loong - setting up the camera for the photographer, do you mean that the assistant also does the framing of the shot in the camera, set aperture, etc?
wah.. bang balls sia. esp for interior shots, the tripod must never move.Tuck Loong said:The framing of the shot is dictated by the storyboard...locking camera means he must ensure the camera position is fixed.

yes. the assistant can be given that kind of job scope and the photographer will come and press the shutter release later.ady said:Hi. Thanks all for the interesting input.
