	Operating Cameraman Online: First Hand-holdable 35MM Motion Picture Camera
		Their answer to the problem of camera orientation was to hand-hold the camera and to use two cameramen -- one to hold and aim the camera, and the other to crank it via a flexible drive shaft at the required steady rate of 16 frames per second.
		At the camera end, the rotating shaft is attached to the driving spindle of the mechanism and the outer tube is fixed to the camera case.
		At the other or operating end, the rotating shaft is fitted with a crank handle and the outer tube is attached to a bearing arranged as a handle to be gripped by the operator with one hand while he turns the crank handle with the other hand.

		The Camera Operator is the second man on the totem of the four-man camera crew working on a feature-film for the cinema or filmed drama for television.

		When shooting, the Operator is solely responsible for both physically operating the camera (ie, 'pointing' it while looking through the lens), and for the composition of any given framing throughout any given shot.

	Operating Cameraman: Protecting Role of Camera Operator

		Sooner or later the producer may surmise, "Who needs this operator on staff?" When contract negotiation time comes around they feel justified in proposing to the unions that the camera operator's position be considered optional or eliminated altogether!
		Let him or her worry about whether a grip flag or microphone is encroaching into the shot, while you focus your attention on the blocking and the lighting of the set.
