The Tools You Need to Know - My $20M TV Series Grip Package
Hey everyone, I know things have been super busy for me lately with Ripple and all the projects I’ve been managing, but I wanted to take a moment to share something important that I think could really benefit a lot of you. When I first started out in this industry, I wasn’t handed the big responsibilities I have today. I started as a Production Assistant (PA), running errands and doing whatever was needed to keep the set running smoothly. After some time, I transitioned into grip work. And let me tell you, I spent days, weeks—hell, months—on the truck, learning every single tool we had at our disposal. That experience was invaluable. Knowing every tool on that truck gave me a full understanding of what was possible in any situation, whether it was rigging a complex lighting setup or solving problems on the fly. That hands-on knowledge is something that’s stayed with me to this day, and now, working on a $20 million TV series like Ripple, it feels like a full-circle moment. It’s the kind of preparation and understanding I wish I had going into this next phase of my career. And it’s something I want to pass on to all of you. Whether you’re just starting out or already well into your career, knowing your tools inside and out is crucial. It’s not just about what you can do creatively—it’s about showing up on set ready for anything, managing things within your budget, and being able to adapt when the pressure’s on. What I Suggest You Do: Get Familiar – I’m attaching a breakdown of the grip and lighting package I’m using on Ripple. I recommend googling each tool on the list and getting familiar with them. You don’t need to know every detail, but having a working knowledge of what each tool does can make a massive difference when you’re on set. Ask Questions – Don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help, and you’re more than welcome to ask me any questions about the gear or anything else. I’ll do my best to upload this post regularly along with some behind-the-scenes photos of the work we’re doing.

This is amazing, thank you!! Would love to hear more about budgeting and managing larger scale projects as that’s a journey I’m hesitant to embark on but inevitably the next step 😅

Hey y'all! Future Issa Rae here (minus the acting lol) I’ve been producing content for literally as long as I’ve had social media but professionally it’s been about 3 years. Got laid off from my corporate job at the height of the pandemic so I really took that time to reinvent myself and focus on my passions. A goal I’m aiming to achieve is finding my tribe in this crazy industry. People that are willing to grow, people I can work with or lean on for support. Looking forward to connecting and learning from you all ☺️
