Issue Date: March 2024
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to rig cabling and dolly tracks for relatively complex multi-camera, or occasionally single-camera, productions.
As a rule, cable installations and laying of dolly tracks follow predetermined camera plans and are supervised by a technical producer.
Typically the skills set out in this unit apply to television productions but may have relevance to other activities within the cultural industries.
Sophisticated rigs are a feature of outside broadcasts, with studio-based productions generally having access to a basic plug-in infrastructure for cameras.
Productions may include sporting events, entertainment at venues, drama, comedy and other multi-camera activities.
Skills associated with manipulating cables during productions are covered in:
CUFCAM301A Shoot material for screen productions.
