Discovering life via the lens

People don’t realize that a cameraman has to be more than someone who can photograph a scene. His main job, really, is to keep everybody happy. He’s got to keep the director & stars happy. He’s got to keep the lab happy. He’s got to keep the art director happy & the same goes for the costume designer. On top of all that, he’s got to stay on schedule so the front office will be happy.
