Lighting & Grip Financial Responsibility

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Reserving equipment or the sound stages is the same as renting gear from a rental house or booking a location. You are expected to treat our gear with care and respect and leave the stages as you found them. Failure to meet SFTV’s professional expectations may result in a fine.

DAMAGE

All projects approved by Production Administration are covered by the school’s insurance policy. In the event of an insurance claim (theft, damaged equipment, third party property damage) the student filmmaker is responsible for a $3500 deductible.

Damage to equipment will be assessed by Lighting and Grip and the student filmmaker will be billed.
