Grip and Electric: Crash Course Film Production #10

It’s time to look at some of the most under-sung heroes of the film world, Grip and Electric. Doing everything from setting up dollies and tripods, to helping the cinematographer shape the light with flags and silks, the Grips are there to make it work properly. And when working with electricity (as pretty much every film set does) you need experienced technicians to make sure you are doing it safely and that you’ll have the power you’ll need. This is where the Electric department comes in.

Produced in collaboration with PBS Digital Studios.
