The Black Veil (2020)
2021 Aurora Award Winning Short-film
As a Grip on The Black Veil, I played a crucial role in supporting the camera and lighting departments to bring the director’s vision to life. Working closely with the Director of Photography and Gaffer, I contributed to the technical setup and execution of complex shots and lighting configurations. My responsibilities included:
Rigging and operating camera support equipment, such as dollies, cranes, and tracks, to achieve smooth and dynamic camera movements.
Setting up and adjusting lighting modifiers, such as flags, silks, and bounce boards, to shape and control light effectively.
Ensuring safety on set by securing rigging and maintaining stability for equipment in challenging environments.
Problem-solving on the fly to adapt to the evolving needs of the production.
This role required a blend of technical precision, physical endurance, and collaboration to support the creative team and ensure the visual integrity of the film.
