Jib Technicians
A Motion House supplied, experienced technician is a highly recommended necessity. Yes, they are an additional expense, but they cut down build/teardown times, aid in crane relocation (which saves time and money in the long run), are a second set of eyes for the operator, add safety and free up that promised to me/already spoken for grip.
A Tech will be REQUIRED for all film style jobs, multi-location shoots, any job with safety concerns, and Live Events with Crowds.
