mending it to all in the industry. He also
urged operators to learn more about video,
as he feels the technologies are merging.
The panelists stressed set eti¬
quette as well as communication skills and
technical adaptability. Babin related the
unique considerations that special effects
demand of an operator, Glover added her
experience from Star Trek VI and spoke of
women's position in the world of operating,
and Hill gave pointers on handling less co¬
operative crew members and dealing with
some common pitfalls. Robinson explained
the objectives of the SOC and stressed the
importance of safety on the set. Bailey
stated the objectives of BTL and added
multi-camera insights as well.
The meeting concluded with
hands-on demonstrations of a new shoul¬
der rig for handheld operating, in concert
with a host of Panavision equipment set up

specifically for the symposium.
