Key among these are the grip, electric, and camera departments. Including the key grip, best boy, gaffer, ACs and other positions, these folks are the ones who actually get the film \u003cem\u003emade\u003c\/em\u003e. They manage equipment, set up and operate the camera and dollies, rig the lighting, and more. It’s not as widely considered as other departments, but the camera, grip and electrical fields are a fantastic way to break into the film industry, pick up skills on set, contribute to exciting projects, and build a reputation for yourself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor aspiring filmmakers looking to get in the middle of the action, there are very few opportunities as entrenched and as involved as the camera, grip, and electrical team.

And once you’re in, how can these roles lead you to new opportunities like cinematographer or director?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Teodorczyk has been working in the camera and grip department for over 35 years, most recently serving as key grip for the second season of Netflix’s LOCKE \u0026amp; KEY.\u003c\/strong\u003e Richard has recently served on other notable shows including \u003cstrong\u003eAmazon’s THE BOYS\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNetflix’s THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eFX’s WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOW\u003c\/strong\u003eS and films like\u003cstrong\u003e SCOTT PILGRIM VS.
