Which role is described as rigging, moving and setting up equipment, cutting light/creating shadows?

• A. 1st Assistant Camera
• B. Grip
• C. 2nd Assistant Camera
• D. Director

Answer: (C)

Grips are the crew who rig, move, and set up equipment on set, and they shape the light by placing flags, scrims, and other modifiers to cut light and create shadows. They also build and adjust rigs for lights and camera supports, such as dollies and stands. The 2nd Assistant Camera focuses on camera-related tasks like loading equipment, keeping track of lenses, and pulling focus, not on rigging or lighting control. The Director directs the overall vision but doesn’t handle on-set rigging. So the description matches the Grip role.
