My son is in the film biz. He said some shots are aimed at the camera so it looks like the actor is shooting into the audience❗️She was behind the camera and the director was probably right beside her watching the work she was doing. Son said there absolutely should have been a plexiglass shield in front of the camera before Baldwin shot at the camera. My son is a first assistant director in the Director’s Union and has been trained in weapons and safety. He spoke to some other first assistant directors in LA and the consensus is that a lot of this tragedy is because to cut costs a “local” crew instead of a highly trained union crew was hired/employed. Son said first assistant director on Rust will probably never work in the film industry again.
