Safe power distribution, electrical safety and routine equipment care — the unglamorous work that keeps a production running and everyone on set safe.
Every set runs on power, and every piece of gear eventually needs maintenance — the crew who handle this well are the reason a production doesn't stop for an equipment failure or a safety incident. This course trains you for that role.
You'll learn safe power distribution for a real set, how to keep production gear working reliably, and how to respond when something does fail.
Generators, power distro, safe cabling and calculating load on a real set.
Grounding, safe practice around water and rigging, and hazard awareness.
Cleaning, transport cases, and protecting gear between jobs.
Battery care, firmware updates, and scheduled equipment checks.
Diagnosing power, connection and equipment failures on set.
Tracking, checking out and maintaining a production's equipment inventory.
Handling equipment failure or a safety incident during a live shoot.
Notes, slide decks and practice videos for every module — unlocked as soon as you enroll.
Written PDF notes for every module, from your instructors.
