This is an interesting case of production blindness, which has happened to us a bit in the past as well. In this case, due to perspective, you the viewer are able to see some instances of the ramset piston not resetting (due to not always fully opening and closing the tool after each attempt) but the guys don't have that clarity of perspective. Even as camera operators, we're focusing on so many things that even though the piston might be visible on our monitors, it doesn't always click in our minds that this could be the source of the malfunction -- but, while going through the edit I adopt a more critical and analytical mindset, as I imagine a viewer would, and in that environment I certainly noticed it. Just one of those strange things where you see different things from the same footage when your job is different.
There's a bit of halted production in this one because we kept resetting the left-facing cam for high speed, which requires digging around in menus and restarting the recording.
