A key grip is responsible for rigging. Anything that requires structural construction for lighting, camera and effects falls under the responsibility of the key grip. Principally they are responsible for getting any equipment secured safetly into the correct place. They share and control the light through diffusion, scrims and flags. They are also a critical part of the safety team. There main tools require knowledge of physics, structural construction and mechanics. The term “grip” came from the carpentry and theatrical business. The person with a “grip” of tools was considered the most valuable person on the “site”.

The key to choosing the right tools is whatever is available to you. The art and craft of filmmaking is in the telling of one’s story. THE STORY IS EVERYTHING!

Most of us got into filmmaking because we felt we had something unique to say.

Granted there are those who are in love with the equipment but you can have the finest tools and yet if you have nothing to say who cares.

Find your unique voice. What is it that motivates you? What is that story that convinced you to tell your own?
