Training
By Tony Vallone
So I am sitting here in the cab of our grip truck watching a little red headed kid hover 30 feet in the air. It’s training week for Palo Alto and we’re all a little excited. Each of our crew members come from different experiences and backgrounds so it was crucial that they all get to know eachother and learn how things on our set will work. So for four days we are making the crew practice setting up a variety of different equipment and learning the various names and places for everything.
Everyone (myself included) is learning a lot about lighting and grip work. One of the newest things to everyone is our 700amp generator which needs to be delicately balanced and monitored at all times. Right now we are taking a little break as everyone goes for a ride on our crane. If anybody was on 405 North near The Bridge and saw people poking up over the trees, that was us.
