Hahah gold, I’m Pinning this

It's crazy how much job responsibilities differ in every country. Where I live half of what US grips do is lighting. Flags, diffusion, stands. Our grips make sure everything is secured with sand and ropes, but their main job is camera and dolly.

Very intimate look under the kimono of a modern well conceived grip truck! As someone who built a Freightliner FL50 camera/lighting/grip truck many years ago (still have it) I can relate to the agonizing that goes on in doing that. For me it's rare to see dedicated grip trucks anymore, so in sharing your truck this way, I got a complete update on the all the latest gripology. I've seen the weather station on set before, but didn't put two and two together to realize it lived on the grip truck. BTW, you reinforce my opinion that the best key grips are frustrated DP's. Cheers!

Electric next

Such a good solution!

Thanks Chris, super interesting to see 🙌

Chris! Thank you for all these videos, been learning a whole lot more than I do at film school ! Your passion is absolutely infectious and you're such an incredible creative problem solver - excited for this video and hopefully more! :)

Holy shit I learned so much. As a DP now owner/op of my own 1.5 ton im drooling at all these extra odds and ends. Always wanted to know what the pipe spinner thing was. Amazing coverage Thank you.

So good - learned a lot - I'd love to see an example of the spinning pipe gag

These two videos were absolutely amazing. Love seeing your grip truck and getting a ton of tips. Stealing a bunch of info. Thank you.

Ate it raw, thx for the upload :-)

Good to hear, That’s the goal!

Hey Chris, would you ever consider making a video detailing the quick release mechanism you built which enables you to quickly grab the ronin from a moving technocrane?

Maybe 🤔

Definitely need to head down under and give a nice in depth look at Ignite Digi with all their Ronin and Movi products!

Champions

So how did they make their labels on their 4x4's?

Woah, grip head combo?! That’s what we just call a combo (combination grip head and receiver), otherwise it’s just a junior stand! Also electrics don’t carry any stands and they aren’t differentiated between grip and electric.

What market do you work in? Interesting hearing the different ways people work.

Would love to hear a detailed discussion on how billing works with that kind of a rig. Base rate + as-used? Does Brendan need to have a conversation with the production dept every time the camera department needs a solution that's not included in the base rate?

I think most of what you see is included in the truck rate. ~$2000/day for commercials. I’m sure specialized truss or other super special stuff is an add on.
