[nofearnodistractions]

[blunklaura]

Uhm if he is talking about saftey...why is he kneeling on tjhe ground?

Just saying...:)

[Luckyjasondrum]

@blunklaura Also........ None of those guys are using the strain relief on any of the head feeders on the lights. Red Flag!!!!! Big NO NO!

.."you are working 12-14hours a day and you have no life" This is what kills me, yeah its fun and all but when you come home, you're beat...and need to get some sleep before the next shoot...

[Freelancelance]

Funny how the genny op has a knee down while he is hooking up Camlock.. You never put anything other then both feet on the ground, if juice is flowing and it hits ya, it will blow out of anything not grounded like that guys knee.. (and hes talking about safety
