Let’s assume it was, and the camera angle was basically directly facing Baldwin, or nearly so. If that’s the case then why not have the camera operator start the camera, then move away with all crew out of the line of fire before the director yells “Action” to remove the possibility of this happening? A suppose it could have been a fluid steadicam type shot but either do it robotically or add the jiggly effect in post.
Procedures need to change.
I read somewhere else that when they shoot at the camera, they put a glass barrier or window between the gun and the camera so that the lens does not get scratched or pitted. The more details that come out, I think Alec might have been screwing around. Nothing else makes sense. Also, I don’t think the type of weapon has been reported. Could have been a shotgun.
Yes, indeed! Procedures need to change.
When I was a nurse, two nurses had to sign off on any blood transfusion and be present when the transfusion was started.
