here's a question I'm puzzled about: focus and hitting marks... I saw the gizmo posted yesterday that allows easy access to the focus ring and also allows 'focus marks' with hair clips... but how in the hell do you get a model to hit marks?

it's not like blowing Bobby Jo in the back of the Chevy is actually training to work in front of the camera and hit marks. I shot a girl yesterdday that couldn't hit a 3 foot square on the floor to take a fucking picture... and this is NOT uncommon... so how in the hell can I expect to pull focus on a DSLR shooting vid? back them into a corner?

shoot at F8-F11 with a wide lens at 100-200 iso so there is no motion blur etc...? then what's the point of DSLR?
