(Hint: It’s more than just pan, tilt, invoice)

A member led Q&A about the process and mentality required to be a top notch “A” Camera Operator. This live in person session is limited to thirty members in good standing in all SOC membership categories.

Each attendee will be required, upon sign up, to submit 5 questions pertaining to the job of an A camera operator. The panel of instructors will guide the conversation based on these questions and candidly address and discuss these issues that are most pressing for those in attendance. Possible topics may include but are not limited to:

• What do you do when the director and the DP are asking for different things?
• What do you do when an AD is pushing you at every moment?
• How do you deal with method actors who may not want to hear from you?
• What part does the A camera operator play in run the set?

In section two of the workshop, attendees will move into smaller groups and work one on one with each of the instructors. This section is designed for a deeper dive into challenges and topics in a more personal setting.

Each group of 6 will spend 15 minutes with each instructor asking any questions they would like in a “speed mentoring” style. After 15 minutes, the groups will rotate so they can ask questions of the next instructor.

This in person workshop is limited to thirty attendees and be asked to pre submit questions in the registration process to assist in shaping the days topics.
