Demystifying the Grip Truck: A hands-on grip training workshop

Grips.

The backbone of any film crew, responsible for camera support, simple and complex rigging, and expertly modifying the lighting look for the DP. 

WIFVNE is excited to partner with NABET 18, IATSE 481, and High Output to provide an in-depth, one-day, intensive workshop to train women in this line of work. New England is busier than ever and working as a grip is a strenuous, but rewarding, way to be a part of this industry.

On this day you will work hands-on to learn the basics of:

• Set safety
• lighting instruments
• reading shadows and reflections
• diffusion types
• rope
• knots
• ratchet straps
• dollies
• track
• stands
• sandbags
• basic electricity and MORE!
