"The Director of the film I'm shooting now is rather new to the biz. He just HAD to have this running shot, down a hallway. Shoot it once or twice, and well, seems I just can't run fast enough. <rolls eyes> "Well, can you zoom in, maybe 3\4 of the way?" Great. Managed to pull it off, but just barely... After cheating the lens back to half-telephoto. <grin>"

nchopp,
I was wondering if the director was looking for a rapid appearing shot or just trying to cover a set distance? I expect that by what you said he was trying to cover the distance as the telephoto shot isn't condusive to showing as much movement. Glad you could pull it off. It couldn't have been easy...(understatement)
Second thought...Maybe I've got this wrong. Did you run down the hall and 3/4 of the way down move to a telephoto shot?
