Ever wondered what a Best Boy or Key Grip is from the movie credits. Here are a few taken from the blog Drivl:
Best Boy—The Best Boy is the 2nd in command of Grip or Gaff teams. Kind of like answering a question with a question I suppose, since you're probably now wondering what the Grip and Gaff teams are-we'll get to that. Let it be noted that Best Boys are not always, in fact, boys.
Key Grip—Not to be confused with Kung Fu Grip which is what makes GI Joe so badass. The Key Grip is the grand high pubah of the Grip team. Grips, in general are responsible for moving stuff around. If something needs to be picked-up (grabbed/gripped) and moved somewhere, it's a grip that does it. For instance, the Dolly Grip is the dude (more than one usually) responsible for pushing the camera dolly.

wow, I can't even begin to state how many things are wrong in this post. Grips don't move stuff around. They rig cameras on cars,or anywhere else it needs to go; shade, bounce and diffuse light, and keep the set running safely. There isn't "more than one, usually", dolly grip. There's one for each camera. For the right definition and an idea of what they really do, visit dollygrip.blogspot.com.
