The first choice for any film professional that is going to order technical equipment for a shoot. This is a great book for the beginner that reflects opon the time when being a "grip" was a career that one could make a living at for a lifetime. A great way to learn the equipment and techniques of major motion picture grips, as well as an informative guide for all production positions when ordering equipment and manpower.
I had a cinema professor who worked with Uva and said he went home from the set everyday with another piece of equipment. When asked, he said he was going to write a book about set equipment. Lucky for us, he did. I think it's the only book of its kind and very thorough and clear to understand!
This was great, I like this book. Very good information that obviously comes from years of experience. Quite focused information, that’s great also.
the basics, from the man- having pro experience, i can tell you, this book is invaluable to anyone starting out or doing fractured micro indie work
