Hi all,

If you like Battlestar Galactica, here's an interesting behind-the-scenes cinemaphotograper perspective:

On a few clips, I noticed they had two shooters/focus pullers grabbing the same shots in parallel. I can envision several situations where this would be useful.

What are your thoughts where it's beneficial having to shooters capturing the same angle?

Really bad 3-D!?


Haha, Zak is pretty much right with the simple explanation of coverage. They are off axis enough to not be simply punch in versions of the main camera, so I imagine it's just plain old coverage. Not how I like to roll, but sometimes it's just what has to be.
