The special effects coordinator working on the set of Rust recently shed some light on the shocking whereabouts of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins before the gun went off.
According to Yahoo Entertainment, "Halyna was telling Alec she wanted to see his thumb working the hammer back to do the shot. The Deadly Take,” so she was standing 18 inches from the muzzle.
Before concluding he also explained that it was Gaffer Serge Svetnoy who caught Hutchines after it all went off and at the time she could no longer feel her legs, "Her skin was so white."
