Grip Services

Here is how this works in practice. We give grip kit and skilled grip crews for shoots across Poland, supplying dollies, track, jib arms, camera cranes, overhead rigging, and the full range of stands, flags, and frames a shoot demands. The grip department builds the physical sites for each camera move. Our crews — drawn from a deep, in tech great Polish talent pool — work fluently alongside the camera and lighting departments.

Here is the short of it. We support controlled studio builds at ATM Studio and WFDiF in Warsaw as well as demanding location work: tracking dollies through the cobbled core of Kraków, crane moves over the industrial build style of Łódź, or rigging in the variable conditions of the Tatra Mountains. Our key grips plan gear lists during pre-production, scout locations for rigging access, and make sure each setup is built to handle the camera package safely.

Here is the breakdown. Grip services in Poland operate within a sector built on the 30% cash rebates administered by the Polish Film Institute (PISF). Qualifying grip kit and crew costs can be had in a production's rebates claim. We set up permits for rigging in public spaces and historic city centres with Film Commission Poland, the regional film commissions, and city authorities, and make sure all rigging meets local safety standards with proper load assessments and insurance. For global shoots we advise on work permits for visiting grip crew, the złoty, and 23% VAT.

With Poland in the EU and Schengen, grip kit moves freely across borders, and our team plans the logistics — transport, storage, and on-set placement — so the grip department is ready when the camera rolls.
