The focus puller can stand off to the side, out of the shot, and do the job via wireless transmission.

Since most cine lenses have not just one gear but three — one each for focus, iris, and zoom — it was only a matter of time before systems evolved that had three motors, allowing the focus puller to change any or all of these at the same time.
