This guide is for those of us who need to know what a piece of grip gear is called, or what it looks like, but not necessarily how to use it.
Its for the field producers who have to have to order equipment they've never seen before, rental house sales people who have fill orders for lighting instruments that have five different names, the shop techs who have to know the difference between a Beefy Baby and a Low Boy, and the PA who has to pick it all up and deliver it without getting yelled at.
With a comprehensive index that that allows the cross-referencing multiple terms, a fully illustrated guide to everything from c-stands to the most popular lighting instruments, as well as reference tables including gel comparisons by vendor and a globe look up chart to help you find the right bulb for your instruments, Gripology is sure to become an invaluable resource on the bookshelf of professionals and students alike.

About Me
- Laura Lozano
- My first experience in the entertainment field was on stage in my mom's belly during a community performance of the play "Cactus Flower" in Morocco, Africa. Since then I've continued to keep behind the scenes and in the dark. After getting my feet wet on a few East Coast Interdependent films, I attended film school (well, film schools) and eventually graduated with a Theatre design Degree with a focus on Stage Lighting. I stayed in the Washington DC area with my husband for a few years, working mostly as an Avid editor for corporate clients before deciding it was time to head for LA. The move out West brought me to my current place of employment, the growing boutique rental house Imagecraft Productions, in beautiful downtown Burbank. It was here that I realized the need for a guide to grip and electric gear for those of us who aren't out in the field everyday. With their support, I've been able to talk to dozens of gaffers and grips about their field, and believe I have gathered one of the most comprehensive compendiums of stands, clamps and globes around.
