Yesterday anonymous left this in my comment section: "I always have wondered, what is a grip?"
Well, anonymous, funny you should ask because that is a question that I missed on a test when I was taking Film Genres at the conservatory.
The grips are the electricians and they set up and arranges equipment, moves dollies etc. The Key Grip stands near the Chief Lighting Technician and is on walkie-talkie to the grips telling them where the Director of Photography and the Chief Lighting Technician want certain lights placed and where they should be plugged in.
Gaffers operate the lights that the grips set up.

Since we're on the topic of weird titles you see in movie credits, what does the Best Boy do?
YOUR COMMENTS ARE GOOD. THEY ARE LIKE AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. ANY THING I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW, JUST ASK. WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE PERSON WHO MAKES THE STAGE SETS?
I have always wanted to know who was the Best Boy too? I know we have talked about that after the movie but never took the time to see what he does. If its a women, are the called the Best Girl?
