Cameraman Pride

I was recently cam op for a music video. I love being cam op because that is what I'm best at. I know camera settings like the back of my hand. I find myself being proud at composing a shot to keep my iso at only 400 for example. When the director says he wants two characters in focus I can do that. I know to change my aperture from say 1.4 to 2.8 so I can have more subjects in focus. One of my favorite shots in the music video was shot was of two characters singing. Devin Dale was one of the characters. He wanted me to mention this. I was shooting on the 7D. The lens I was using was the Zeiss 85 prime. I was stopped all the way down to 1.4 or 1.8 I believe. The shot looked beautiful. I had some really nice rack focuses. I know they were nice because when you watch it, you can't really tell it's a rack focus, the focus just directs your eyes from one subject to the other. That's the way focusing is supposed to be used, to direct your eye to a subject. Just another moment of my cameraman pride.
