Michael Uva sits down with us on Cinematic Immunity to discuss transferring

his skills from the U.S. Marines to the world of being a grip in the

entertainment industry in 70's.  Michael Uva is one of the select

entertainment technicians who have written "The Book" on his craft. Uva's

Grip Book has been the one consistent reference manual for all things Grip

for nearly 25 years and it's still going strong with the 2014 publishing of

the 5th edition.  This episode was one of the earlier Cinematic Immunity

episodes and captures a great perspective on how to do a hard job in hard

conditions but still stay professional all day long.  We also break down

some basics of how to set a C-stand and why regular practice is so

important, and how sharing the knowledge brings it back around in the long

run.
