Successful Crane Operators normally work as freelancers, but are affiliated with one of the camera equipment facilities houses. They are usually requested by the Grip, and ultimately report to the Director of Photography. Most Crane Operators combine work on commercials with television and feature films, and some foreign travel may be involved, involving long periods spent away from base.
