As with all filming, all of a sudden the perfect plane appeared in the background, I yelled ‘track in’ to the key grip,
Glen focused up, the talent who has having a cup of tea quickly leapt back onto his marks and Richard called ‘ACTIOOONNN’ and we tracked back just in time to see the taxiing plane in the back drop… We did about another 20 takes after this with no more planes, but I guess they liked this one best.
TOP TIP FOR PULLING FOCUS:
My top tip for performing such a focus pull at a wide aperture from a macro close up to a wide shot when tracking is to have your focus puller lay down as many focus marks (along the length of the track) as possible.
In this instance, our talent was static which really helped. The length of the track was almost 3m. I gave the talent hard precise marks (for their feet) using camera tape because even

When you are so close in on a subject even them swaying slightly can be the difference between the eyeball being in focus and the eyelash!
It is imperative that the focus puller has precise focus marks on their follow focus that 100% match the focus marks laid out along the track.
To help keep the tracking and focus pulling in sync, the key grip timed his tracking with the focus marks (alongside the track).
I also asked the 1st AD to count backwards from 7 (7 seconds was the duration of the shot in real time) –
this way Glen the focus puller, and the key grip could keep both tracking and focus timings in sync, as much as possible…
Glen is from a film background and doesn’t like to work from a monitor. Instead he relies completely on his follow focus marks.
For this type of shot I believe this mathematical method works the best. It’s not fail safe, but it certainly reduces the risk of chance…
When you are shooting a commercial with clients on set and have to perform the same shot for multiple takes you can not reply on getting a ‘fluky’ take…
Good job everyone nailed their jobs!
Sometimes a little bit of added pressure like an unexpected plane coming into frame and only one chance to get the shot is what everyone needs to be put them on top of their game!
