I wrote a post about gaffers tape last week explaining that while most people might automatically reach for the duct tape during a shoot, gaffers tape is a much better alternative universally used in the film community. Just one of those things you might not know if you’ve never come across it.
Cable wrapping techniques are another one of types of things that you automatically do one way and you eventually learn how to do the right way. I remember when I was early into my high school career I was out helping on a local shoot and started wrapping cables around my arm. An old roadie quickly noticed and verbally accosted me, kindly showing me the right way.
So here for your reading and viewing pleasure is a short guide and some great videos on how to wrap cable.
