Hello everyone! I'm a Local 600 member with experience as a Jib Operator/Technican. I'm looking to move over to the telescoping crane market and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the traditional path to becoming a telescoping crane technician. Below is a link to my resume, please feel free to reach out. Thank you in advance for any help or recommendations.

Hello, and thank you for viewing our post. We have a custom built X8 Heavy Lift Drone and a Teradek Bolt Pro 2000 for sale, both of which are in pristine condition and have only been flown twice for testing purposes. Soon after purchasing our drone we decided to focus our efforts in the telescoping crane market and no longer have any use for the drone. The package has a DJI A2 Flight control system, custom retractable landing gear and a brushless 3-axis gimbal, all of which are controlled by two Futaba RC controllers. The drones fuselage is capable of hauling 35 lbs and the gimbal has a max payload of 13 lbs. The gimbal is currently being upgraded from an 8-bit to a 32-bit system for your benefit ($500 upgrade). The frame is comprised of high quality aluminum and carbon fiber to reduce gross fuselage weight to ultimately maximize its heavy lift and flight duration capabilities. The package also includes a brand new Toshiba laptop for programming the A2 system and gimbal. Below is a list of what the package includes, please feel free to contact us with questions regarding pricing and details. The drone and teradek can be purchased separately if you so desire.

Thank you Liam and Stuart. I greatly appreciate the help!

Hello everyone, I am a 2nd AC based out of New York looking to join Local 600. I am a little confused as to how to start off and get myself into the IER. I also have a few other related questions of things I'm trying to better understand. If I'm not on the IER does the union help me get work as a member that's not on the IER? How much are the upfront dues to join as a 2nd AC? And what is the annual dues and what's the billing cycle like? Is there any way I could shadow a union shoot specifically in the camera department through 600? Is it difficult to meet the 400 hours/12 months requirement for health benefits when you start out? If so how long was your struggle? Was there anything like attending networking events that helped you establish yourself in the union world as an AC? If so what were they? Any tips in specific about reaching out to ACs or DPs I'm trying to work with? I am a mature, well organized and dependable professional who is 21 years old and chasing a true dream. I don't wish to be a DP, my heart lies in being an AC. My end goal is to 1st but I am not one of those 2nds that wants to prematurely try and move up to 1st'ing. My hopes with this thread are that I can gain some clarity on a few questions and maybe even some contacts that can help me get my foot in the door as a 600 AC. Thank you to those who respond, any help or wisdom is greatly appreciated. Joe Fugallo Joefugallo@gmail.com

You could use a tungsten light and put it on a flicker master and use color correction gels to get the look you want.

Okay thank you very much Vincent! I had a feeling that was the case but I just wanted some supporting feedback

Hello, I am shooting a dubstep music video and I plan on having a majority of my lights (Source fours) to be on flicker masters and dimmers and I am shooting on a RED one build 30 (not the MX sensor). I was wondering if anyone has any advice regarding rolling shutter with the Red camera's CMOS sensor. I don't know how fast I can flash the lights without getting rolling shutter artifacts in my image. Just wondering if there is anyone out there that could give any incite. Thank you for reading and any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated! -Joe

Hey I appreciate all the advice, and I'm not looking to get job protection through certifications or training, I would like to be able to do complex rigs such as large scale flyswatters on condors and stuff of that nature.

Hahaha yeah I got the grip test on my first shoot, I learned the grip test trick and to never grab or pass a C-stand with your fingers under the long arm hahaha

Thank you Toby and Robert, I appreciate the response and the advice I will definitely look into the local 80 workshops and interning as a grip or swing. I work on the grip and gaff team a lot on student 16 and 35mm features at my college currently but I will look into more larger scale shoots.

What about work shops or training? aside from film school

Hello, I am currently a film student at Full Sail University and I was wondering what certifications,training, books,or workshops would one take if they were looking to be a sufficiently skilled and knowledgeable grip on set. i.e. rig a flyswatter, condor rigging or operation or safety courses that would be good to have under your belt. Thanks for you're time and I sincerely appreciate any advice or response! -Joe
