Please feel free to break this rule if you notice a sniper out of his field of vision, though, because if your cameraman gets shot it may take you a while to find a replacement. Play it by ear, then, and make sure you forgive your cameraman for all his sins. At this stage, it becomes quite clear that although he may act like a single-cell organism, the average cameraman is quite a complex creature. The question will always remain whether cameramen are born or shaped by society. I think they re born cameramen.
Cameramen tend to be boisterous, immature, and irreverent.
Cameramen are not very good at math. Cameramen will bitch about producers and correspondents, even if they like them and admire their work. Cameramen are not male chauvinist pigs. Male, to them, is what you get in the post. What may sound like an argument getting out of hand and eventually leading to a fistfight is usually just the sound of cameramen winding down after a hard day s work.
