In the fast-paced world of film and video production, precision is paramount.

What is a Focus Puller and Why Does It Matter?
A focus puller, also known as a first assistant camera (1st AC), is responsible for maintaining sharp focus during a shot. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, technical knowledge, and the ability to work seamlessly with the cinematographer. In high-pressure environments like corporate events or fast-paced commercial shoots, a skilled focus puller can make the difference between a mediocre take and a masterpiece.
