EP. 3: Rigging Scenery: It's Not As Basic As You Think

On today’s episode I want to talk a little bit about rigging and some practices you might not be completely aware of. Before I dive in I want to say that this episode is for educational purposes only and is not official advice. I am not a professional rigger and you should always seek professional advice from a licensed rigger when hanging and flying scenery or people. I don’t know all the information but my goal in talking about this topic is to make you aware that rigging involves more than you think and should not be taken lightly. It is highly specialized and you should never cut corners. Pay certified riggers what they are asking, this isn’t something you should be trying to do on a budget.  IATSE District 6- Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas https://iatse.net/about/district-list/  District Secretary: Jon LoweEmail: d6secretarytreasurer@gmail.com  Rigging hardware companies https://shop.bmisupply.com/rigging https://www.fehr.com Rosebrand.com https://www.jrclancy.com/trim-chains.php  https://sapsis-rigging.com IG: behindtheplasterline Shop: www.mightywithalltrades.com
