I highly recommend listening to this episode to ANYONE working in the film industry. A lot of great info. And if you haven't seen it, check out the Local 600 Gun Safety Video with none other than.....Larry Zanoff!

Finally, if you like these folks, check out their podcast What Went Wrong on all sorts of platforms. All the episodes are fantastic but if you are looking for somewhere to start, Roar, Island of Dr. Moreau, or anything with James Cameron will hook you right in.

Operators Matt Petrosky, Chris Duskin, Jessica Hershatter, Greg Faysash, Brigman "Briggs" Foster-Owens, Dave Chameides and Dolly Grip Eric Zucker discuss the 95% of the job of being a camera operator that has nothing to do with with operating itself. Interpersonal skills, working with a new dolly grip, when the director and the DP aren't agreeing on things, we discuss the part of the job that is not always as easy to learn as landing a frame.

Hruska Clinic Shoe List

From Liz: A few notes about the shoe list. At the bottom of page two they have recommendations for individuals with limited big toe extension. Worth noting that the ever-popular Hokas are ONLY for people with limited big toe extension, meaning, for people who wear them without this issue they can absolutely be causing other problems--low back pain, etc. 

I believe the shoe list is updated twice/year to stay current with what models are available. Also, year to year as the shoes are updated they may no longer meet the criteria so it's good for people to know that just because a shoe is on the list one year does not mean the next year it will still be a good choice.
