As the Key grip I supervised and directed my grip crew of eight to fulfill the needs of the production in a professional and safe manner. I instructed and assisted my grips on how to remove walls safely and successfully. I communicated with the camera department and my dolly grips to achieve certain camera shots/positions in an effective yet safe manner. I worked closely with the gaffer and Director of Photography to achieve the look of the show. We shot EXT. and INT. on stages and on location. Equipment we used included 22ft techno cranes, 23ft Scorpio cranes, hybrid 3 dollies, peewee 3 dollies, 20x20 telehandler flyswatters, condor rigs, pully systems, and a 10 ton grip package.
