maquinista de dolly


Explanation:
La dolly es una plataforma móvil sobre la que se coloca la cámara. Así lo he encontrado en el diccionario técnico de cine, del que te copio enlaces.

Aquí además hay fotos: http://www.patiodebutacas.org/foro/showthread.php?t=5316

Example sentence(s):
  • maquinista de dolly Persona que empuja la dolly durante la filmación de un plano.
  • La dolly es empujada o conducida por una persona llamada maquinista de dolly. Con frecuencia, este instrumento se desplaza sobre vías para lograr una mayor suavidad en el movimiento.

operador de dolly/operador de cámara dolly


Explanation:
Dolly es la plataforma rodante, pero el término acuñado es "dolly"

In cinematography, the dolly grip is the individual who operates the camera dolly. He places, levels, and moves the dolly track, then pushes and pulls the dolly and usually a camera operator and camera assistant as riders. If the dolly has a moveable vertical axis, such as a hydraulic arm, then the dolly grip also operates the "boom". If both axis are used simultaneously, this type of dolly shot is known as a compound move.
