Join us as we venture into the captivating world of filmmaking with the fantastic Mykaila Williams! 🌟 Mykaila unravels the dynamic roles within the G&E (Grip and Electric Department) and how they are the unsung heroes behind the scenes.
🔌 The Electric Department, masterminded by the Gaffer, electrifies the set. They power every department and bring the Director of Photography's lighting plan to life. 🌟 Their domain also includes handling essential equipment and ensuring the shoot's lighting is top-notch.
💡 On the other hand, the Grip Department shapes the light's destiny. They create shadows, offer shelter to other departments, and can even move or dismantle walls!
💪 They are the sturdy pillars, safeguarding safety on set.
🧑💼 The Best Boy or Best Girl (or Best Person) takes charge of orders and emails, ensuring everyone is on the same page. They are the Gaffer's right hand, working diligently to keep the lighting team running like a well-oiled machine.
💡 The Lighting Technician, working under the Gaffer and Best Person, plays a pivotal role. They are the experts who handle the movement of lights and c-stands, ensuring every shot is perfectly illuminated.
Get ready to dive into the heart of filmmaking and appreciate the unsung heroes of the G&E Department who make movie magic happen one light at a time! 🌠🎥 #FilmmakingInsights #BehindTheScenes #GripAndElectric
