Thanks for beautiful video 📹 I really appreciate because these videos so much help me and once again thank you God bless you dear brother and God bless your team
Its nice to see what the steels are actually used for, been working for a company in the UK for about 2 years making steels, safety bonds etc and i never knew what they were for! 😂
I started rigging at 18 in 1976 with a guy named George Fairbanks from Ocean States Rigging. Wore a sit harness to access steel above lower grid or where there was no low steel. This just shows you there is more to rigging than pulling a rope. Rigging a concert was the best!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m getting ready to train to do this for I.A.T.S.E. and I can’t thank you enough for this video. It definitely calmed my nerves on what to expect and I appreciate the amount of detail you went into.
Andy?! Haha that’s awesome! Hope you’re doing well, man. It’s McGreevy. Cool to come across your videos randomly. I was looking up rigging motors and your video came up after watching another video. I used to be a guitar tech as well as tour playing bass/guitar so always had an affinity for stage crew. Have a lot of friends in stage and touring crews.
Thank you for this video. i'm taking training for this at a convention center. I'm honestly terrified. But watching this will at least give me an idea of what to expect and so far, it is very informative.
How'd your convention go? Did you realize this was partially uesless? I rig arenas and conventions... totally different practices... namely you rig from a scissor lift in most convention centers, where you rig from beams in arenas... different worlds.
Pretty solid! Wish i had this before i started. If you had helmets, trauma strap and a quick over view of your rescue procedure you would have the single best free class on youtube
Great Video! Its something ive always enjoyed admiring more than shows at times! I have had a rough idea on how they've gone about it, but never been able to participate or see in person. Thanks for sharing! Would love more stuff like this!
Really cool video! In your experience, who usually marks the floor? Are you guys given plots ahead of time, or does the sound/lighting company come in before the trucks are dumped and just eyeball it so to speak?
We have lead riggers who have their certification. But a lot of the lead tour riggers will mark their own points. I’ve definitely had sound and light guys do the math as well. Even our longer term riggers do the math as well.
I never did rigging beyond a concert hall and community festivals. I got the job by doing something on a festival and then somebody told me to talk to an AD because he stuck a mirror under my nose and a fog appeared. I hope TH-cam continues to appreciate it's role as a University, in addition to participants such as yourself.
Cool lil video. But i have to say i couldnt handle the way yall stand to pull. For me personaly i prefer standing on top of the beam so that the weight is centered while im pulling. Plus the sides of your legs arent bumpin the edge of the beam. I could see that position getting annoying after pullin a dozen points.
Cool video but i dont think its a good idea to be posting this type of thing for anyone to "learn", without having someone with proper experience to check their work. If its climbing or PPE related sure but not rigging that will kill someone besides the fresh rigger who watches this and lies their way onto a beam.

Good video, but there are several security issues to review.

The Tour Rigger and Local Head Rigger mark the floor. This usually gets sent ahead of time showcasing the limits of the building they are in.
We have lead riggers who have their certification. But a lot of the lead tour riggers will mark their own points. I’ve definitely had sound and light guys do the math as well. Even our longer term riggers do the math as well.
Great video, and think training is definitely important
Awesome video thanks for sharing 🤘🏾
What a nice venue to learn.
Gloves would be good with steel wire rope 😅.. u guys are brave and skilled ! 😊
Great video! Exactly what type of rope would you recommend for this application?

A mirror under my nose and a fog appeared...wtf 😂
Super!! Thanks
Brilliant, cheers!

Your comments are very poor. Maybe this kind of thing isn’t for you.
If you want some good training I recommend CM courses at Rock Lititz.
