<p>A phantom tech is someone who basically operates the high speed camera.  Everything from initial set up to shooting to transfer of footage.  The camera itself is quite complex, so it requires a little bit of knowledge, and tons of experience as it really is nothing like any other camera, with that said, the footage is incredible</p>

What are this person's duties, and why would a director need one on a production set?</p>
