Racking focus A rack focus in filmmaking and television production is the practice of changing the focus of the lens during a shot. The term can refer to small or large changes of focus. If the focus is shallow, then the technique becomes more noticeable. In professional films, a camera assistant called a focus puller is responsible for rack focusing. In his documentary film, "The Sinister Saga of Making "The Stunt Man"" the director Richard Rush claims he developed the technique in the 1960s. In the commentary to the TV series "Firefly", visual effects supervisor Loni Peristere comments that rack focus has been taboo in recent cinematography because such shots cannot be "repaired" in post production.
