Pro Tip: How to Coil (or Wrap) Cable

Our buddy Dominic D'Astice (Key Grip for many RJ shorts, as well as RocketJump: The Show) shows us how to properly coil electrical cables on set.

Taking good care of your equipment is especially important when it comes to anything having to do with electricity. Coiling your cable properly helps it have a much longer life, makes it easier to store safely, and helps you avoid potentially harmful or dangerous damage that could cause the cable to short out or accidentally shock someone.

Important to note: most grip & electric departments use this method, however many camera and audio departments prefer the over/under method for video and audio cables. Keep an eye out for that tutorial later on!
