Set Etiquette 101 — How to Stay Professional Under Pressure

Talent and skill get you noticed. Professionalism gets you rehired.

Great Grips and Electrics know their craft — but the ones who last understand set etiquette. Always communicate clearly, follow the chain of command, and stay focused even when things slow down.

Key habits of respected crew members:

* Be early. Film time is not real time.

* Stay quiet when the camera rolls.

* Secure your gear, every time.

* Never touch another department’s equipment without asking.

* Listen more than you speak.

Film sets are built on collaboration and trust. At KraftWorks, students learn not just how to light a scene, but how to become the kind of crew member directors rely on — safe, respectful, and ready to work under pressure.
