kameracoordinater

A kameracoordinater, often shortened to koco, is a professional who works on film and video production sets. Their primary responsibility is to ensure the seamless integration of camera equipment and its smooth operation throughout the shooting process. This involves a wide range of tasks, from setting up and maintaining cameras and lenses to managing and organizing camera equipment, including tripods, dollies, cranes, and specialized rigs.

The kameracoordinater collaborates closely with the Director of Photography (DP) and camera operators to understand the specific needs of each shot and to ensure that the camera department's requirements are met. They are skilled in troubleshooting technical issues that may arise with the camera equipment and are responsible for its safe storage and transportation. In larger productions, the kameracoordinater may also oversee a team of camera assistants. Their meticulous attention to detail and technical expertise are crucial for the efficient and successful execution of the director's vision, ensuring that the cameras are always ready and functioning optimally.
