Grip provides the physical support systems that make the camera and lighting possible. Through rigging, stabilization, and light control, grip work enables precise camera movement, safe mounting, and controlled shaping of light on set. Every decision balances creative intent with real-world conditions—locations, safety, time, and crew workflow—so shots can be executed reliably and efficiently. By serving as the structural backbone of the set, grip ensures consistency, safety, and flexibility from prep through production.
