Here's what we know about crew complaints prior to the on-set shooting that killed Halyna Hutchins

there are lots of checks in place. So for instance, the blandly incident, there was, uh, construction the barrel, which, which came out once the blank was put behind it. And now nowadays all weapons to check the bowels check before any blanks and put into the weapon. Um, there are lots of other protocols in place, including active training beforehand to the actual is competent with the weapon before they go on set. There will be rehearsals without weapons of the armor can assess any safety distances and beware where all the crew is before the weapon goes and set. Um, the blacks themselves and never loaded until the very last minute when all crew in positions do they know the army knows exactly where every member of the crew is so that no one's walking through any danger areas. The armor is set up On some of the sets I've been on, we've had upwards of 100 maybe 150 weapons. And the safety protocol on something of that size is much, much greater of course because you have many more weapons. People are running around. Um, and as a camera operator, you would be in the line of the gunshot. We've all seen the very famous shots in films where you get that dramatic effect of gun being pointed at you the audience and of course it's been pointed towards the camera to minimize that one would put a remote camera in that place or at least if someone does have to operate the camera. I'm normally protected by safety goggles or safety visor and often a perspex screen that with stands pretty much anything. Obviously, it wouldn't withstand a real shot from a gun, but it would certainly withstand a blank.
