ABSTRACT

A jib is a device similar to a crane, with the camera on one end and the operator on the other end of a long pole. Jibs can range from 2 to 7 feet in height, and have a 5-to 8-foot reach. Most dolly grips in medium-and high-budget projects work run of show. If working this way, the dolly grip will start a few days ahead of principal photography to make sure the dolly is in good working order. In low budget, since dollies are not included in a standard grip package, they have to be rented at an additional cost. Therefore, the dolly grip would work only for the time that a dolly is being rented.
