During recording, full attention (no distractions) is needed to properly maintain focus, compose pleasing video shots, and receive instruction given by the assigned Video Director over intercom systems.

Required Skills and Knowledge:
  • Personal Schedule Management Skills are required. Cam Ops must report where and when assigned without failure to do so.
  • Camera Operators must remain attentive to the recording in order to capture the best recording possible for later uses.
