You would be surprised
just how many people who call themselves camera operators cannot follow simple directions like "Do not track the actor as they walk off set." We had that one time making a short film.
We actually had to send him out of the room because he was completely unable to stop himself tracking the subject as they walked out of shot.
Someone who does not claim to be skilled at operating a camera will always amaze me if they manage to produce footage at all. Even if it does not show anything, just that they knew where the button was to start recording is impressive.
The more people I meet, the more I need to drink.
