Grip Services

Here is how this works in practice. We give grip kit and skilled grip crews for shoots shooting across the Czech Republic, supplying dollies, track, cranes, jibs, camera support and the rigging hardware a camera department depends on. Our key grips work alongside DPs and gaffers to plan camera movement, build sites and scaffolding, and rig cameras and lights safely on set. Prague's rental houses hold a deep inventory of grip gear. We set up the package so a production has the right dolly, slider or crane for its shot list.

Here is the short of it. Barrandov Studios in Prague, one of Europe's largest and oldest studios, gives stages sized for big grip builds, while location work — period interiors, narrow medieval streets, castle courtyards — calls for adaptable rigging options. Our grips are part of the deep, worldwide skilled Czech crew base, comfortable on large global units as well as commercial and documentary shoots.

Here is the breakdown. Grip work in the Czech Republic often supports shoots exploiting Prague's intact period build style and the country's different locations, from baroque interiors to the landscapes of Bohemian Switzerland National Park and the Moravian countryside. Heritage and covered buildings need careful, non-damaging rigging, and our key grips are skilled in working within the access conditions set by the Prague Film Commission and regional authorities. Productions drawn here by the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebates, administered by the Státní fond kinematografie, gain grip crews seasoned on global features and series shot at Barrandov, from 'Snowpiercer' to 'Hellboy'. We handle the logistics a grip department demands — gear transport, rigging schedules, scaffolding and safety records — and budget the grip package in Czech koruna with 21% VAT, supplying the risk assessments visiting production insurers need.
