Don't forget, if you weight the bottom of a floppy using the sleeve, always clamp it to the stand, or risk a really strong gust sending a heavy projectile into someone's back.
Great stuff bro! Always look forward to your videos.
Great as usual, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This video is awesome! It goes into the basics and just enough detail! I felt that episode 54 was way too short, but now I get why! Also anyone looking into buying a 4x4 should consider just how giant they are, unless you have a van, mini van or truck you won't be able to fit a floppy this big, I'm going to sew up my own 30" x 36" floppy.
Matthews makes a 4x4 kit that comes apart and fits in a 2x4 bag, something along that line might work if you're looking for a 4x4 but pressed for space.
In a pinch(heh), at video village, you can tuck a bit of fabric into the riser you're not using to hold back the flop piece. Most of the flops we work with, though, have a velcro bit at the bottom of the flop to wrap around a stand. On another note: The meat axe nomenclature. One of the things I've found, over the years, is that rental houses and Technicians often use WILDLY different terminology for their gear. I've had a few unusual things show up when I day-rented a meat axe.
Fantastic episode, Dave. Way more in depth than some you've done in the past
I told you i'd keep it in mind, im starting to maybe shake things up just a bit, try new things. etc
The jump cut from the cutter to 2x3 was nice.
Love it guys.
Thanks a lot for the great video!
Dude.. this is so informative.
Great video. Thank you
Their Grip Tips episode was awesome with their B&W short at the end. That being said, I have enjoyed all of your videos. Taught me several things I didn't know and some I should have known. Keep it up!
Scott Balkum hell yea, thanks man, glad I could help
Scott knows everything. He drinks MUDD!!!
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h I only know what I learn and I am learning every day.

@@ScottBalkum Clearly I am four years behind you if I just found this video!
This stuff is gold
That piece of wood you use in the sleeve or clipped the the bottom is often called a "Floppy Stick." If the Key Grip asks you for a floppy stick, don't go looking for a rubber stick that is floppy; you're being asked for a wooden stick. Rigid. Called floppy only because it's meant for a flop down flag. It is not actually floppy.
Floppy sticks are nice to have around just because its nice to have wood laying around. 1 by 3s and 1x4s.
Awesome
Nice!
nice informative video
Can't wait to see your meat axe in the next episode
You can also pinch the floppy with the bottom riser if you dont have a clip on you.
Nice Shinola.
Hello, I want to make the flag holders myself. I'm thinking of making the bars 10 mm. Should the bars be solid or empty?
this is the best channel
This is the best comment 😂
Lol FABULOUS moves there buddy
DAN JAMS sometimes a sexy mofo needs to release the kraken
🙌🏿🙌🏿
::runs out and buys 4x4 floppy::
Dude, this is like a condensed film school. Love it!! Keep it up! =D
Chris Bryant thanks man ☺️🤘🏻
Hey, Dave: ever use Digital Juice stuff before? Lights/accessories/etc?
Chris Bryant currently using their sandbags..... which are tearing apart 🙁
Video on diffusion and other materials like honeycomb and eggcrate
what type of material is used on making these flags?
Duvetyne, it’s a fire retardant fabric and an industry standard
Is grip an occupation?
And if it is what's the difference between it and gaffer position.?
Gaffer is the Chief Electrician whose crew under him or her works with lights, balancing generators and running cable.
Grip department uses specialized rigging equipment to support lighting, such as using "cutters" and certain types of diffusion and gels in frames on stands placed in front of lights to affect colors and shadows. Grip also supports the Camera department in several ways, i.e. cranes, jib arms and dollies, etc.
If you were building out a very small solo grip kit, what size floppy or cutters would you recommend? Thanks
4xfloppies for days, then 2x3’s, then 2x6’s. In that order of priority, if not all of them. You probably only need 3 of the 2x’s each. But usually there’s 16 floppies on a grips 4xCart
@@DaveDonaldsonLive this is very helpful. For the 2x is it better to get a floppy version or just a standard cutter? Thanks!
@@pizzomedia7261 standard
@@DaveDonaldsonLive cool thanks!
Trying to track down ultrabounce floppy. Any suggestions?
Christopher Dyer Sure thing! Here you go! modernstudio.com/products/48-x-48-ultrabounce-floppy
Lawyer!!!

Rick Urbanowski ?
They stole your name!
( kidding)
Rick Urbanowski hahaha yea hell no those guys are great
Was hoping for him to explain what a "Sider" is? I got asked to set one up on a set one time and was completely clueless.
Side of the light. Like a barn door. Good point though. I should have mentioned that. My bad
Grip Tips Thanks so much! Would you normally put up a floppy 4x4 for this as well?
Yep!
What's the measurements of a top hinge floppy
The standard floppy size is 48x48 inches, but some companies like modern studio sell slightly smaller 40x40 or even 36x36 versions to fit into regular cars.
Very informative thanks! Hey, I haven't been able to find any tutorial on how to build and mount a fly swatter. Would you like to be the first?
Jesus Nieto either Luke Seervekd or I will. Never built one tbh but I haven’t had the budget to rent the condor and gear for it. Definitely on my to do list though. One of the reasons I haven’t taught much distribution on my channel is that I’m not 100% confident with it yet, even though I’ve done quite a bit of it. Still have questions of my own I need answered.
Noice

Hey Dave! I'm a fellow filmmaker and a subscriber of your channel - great content! I did a similiar but lower-budget approach to the 03:00 "courtesy" in one of my videos. Have you seen these used in larger sets or are they only using tents and flags? Video I'm talking about: th-cam.com/video/jMfpYxk32mY/w-d-xo.htmlm6s
I checked out Film Riot. I don't like them. They are totally copying your style.
The Kaiser it’s actually more the other way around. They’ve influenced me to have the format I have. I just don’t do the sketches like they do. Would love to though.
@@GripTips - I was just making fun. Film Riot is good. However, the style suits your videos very well. And you are much more "industry-professional" than the Conollys. Very good channel. Well done. Well done. I hope we'll get many new videos in the future. One can NEVER have enough grip tips.

PS: What about a video just on proper and safe heavy duty car rigs?
