Home > Focus puller


A focus puller or first assistant camera (1 AC) is the member of a film crew responsible for keeping the camera's focus right during a shoot. Often this requires pulling the focus with a follow focus device during the take, to compensate for camera or subject movement.

To accurately focus on the subject, it's common to measure the distance (usually with a tape measure) between the camera lens and the subject being focused before the take.
