[@TheLpratt]

Every piece and every part is important. Love it!

[@51crow]

I was a grip for one movie in 1989, "Glory!". Gave me a real appreciation for the skills that are needed for a good production. I recognize those skills present in "The Chosen ", they make for a great production. ICH

[@theimpossiblethespian6974]

YAS!!! RESPECT FOR THE GRIIIIPS!!!!

[@sandravillela7549]

Loved it, no idea of what a grip is, thank you for showing the behind the scenes, and teaching ❤️❤️😍

[@TheChosenSeries]

Learn something new every day, don't ya Sandra?! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandravillela7549]

The Chosen thank you! I extremely enjoyed it, I watched it twice ❤️

[@JoyfulMichelle]

I've always been curious about the role of the grips. Thanks so much for posting this. :)

[@cherylmayes4401]

YES! I as well. I am a credit watcher; everyone who works hard deserves to have their name & role read just like the ‘stars’. I have wondered what the grips’ assignment was. Now I have a better sense! Thank you Richard the Grip! 😉

[@gracemorganspeaks]

Good content love it. Whoever is reading this God can turn any situation around trust in Him alone. You are one step closer to your miracle and deliverance. Blessings

Sounds like a very interesting profession. I've always wondered about the "Key Grip" etc. when seeing it in the credits of movies but never got around to actually looking it up, finally after all these years I know lol! Very cool.

We had a neighbor across the street (also a grip) from the house I grew up in Hollywood that worked on movies like Jaws & countless others. Fascinating industry. Martha's Vineyard was the backdrop for Amity Island.

[@TheChosenSeries]

Interesting fact! Thanks Craig.

[@SharpLady53]

I grew up in North Hills and many of my neighborhood daddies worked at Color by De Luxe. The man who played Chief Wild Eagle on F Troop was our next door neighbor. I never knew who I was going to run into at the Sherman Oaks Mall.

[@vcs522]

I have worked as a grip here in Hollywood for many years. I like to say/think that the set lighting dept. (or God) "send the light"... We grips "bend" the light! And LOTS of other stuff, as well... I love it! ;-)

[@Loulizabeth]

Love learning about all the different roles of the crew that work so hard behind the scenes. I remember seeing the title 'Grip' in the end credits of series and films and wondering what job they did. Thanks for the explanation, and thanks to you and any other grips working behind the scenes on the Chosen for all you do to make the shots look so good.

[@ngatatan2597]

Hi Dallas, just wondering if you have read Daniel Boyarin's book "The Jewish Gospels" for the belief among the Israelites and Jews regarding the Divinity of the Messiah in the Second Temple Era. Other than OT evidence confirming the trinity of YHWH God, the commentaries and teachings of that era already has for the 200 years preceding the birth of Jesus the Christ and for some 200 years after, an accepted theological Judaic doctrine for the Pluritarian YHWH and Christology of Messiah. This might be interesting back information for the series. That would give a more ready explanation why a senior member of the Sanhedrin like Nicodemus would really fall on his knees before an "unschooled" carpenter. The Bible Study Fellowship Study on the Gospel of John a few of years back also has great background to solidify this related to the signs Jesus performed. According to the rabbinical teachings of that era, the Messiah had to perform 4 confirmatory signs of His Messiahship - of I recall correctly, opening the eyes of the blind, healing a deaf mute, raising a dead man and healing a person lame from birth... All of which Jesus performed a number of times.

[@cherylmayes4401]

Ngata, this is very interesting information. I can't speak for Dalla, but I certainly will be ready what you suggest! Thanks for the information. Blessings!

[@Hope-lp2xu]

Brilliant show, I also suggest checking out MHFM.

[@danphelps8120]

It looks like Grips have to carry lots of stuff. Anyone know how heavy the equipment is that grips usually move around? I guess every day is different, but are you generally moving around lots of light stuff or do you have to do lots of heavy lifting.....say stuff heavier than 50 pounds?

[@mahlatsimoroka1500]
