Between takes they measure everything -- and I mean everything -- with tape > measures. And they do it over and over. They must not rely on the viewfinder > to focus. It looked like one guy at each camera was responsible for manually > focusing, according to a timeline. So much for AF <g>. As far as the camera operator is concerned, it is "Auto-Focus," An assistant handles focus, so the shooter can watch the framing. Auto focus couldn't work in features, for example, when focus shifts back and forth between two characters, both in frame, when each speaks. I'm anxious to see your pics! Regards, SonC
