Grip Services

Here is how this works in practice. We give complete grip packages. The list covers dollies, track, jib arms, cranes, camera sites, stands, flags, frames and rigging hardware. Together with the key grips and grip crews to operate them. Morocco's skilled grip base, built over decades of feature production around Ouarzazate, is pro in the demands of large-scale set work: rigging cameras on standing Roman and biblical sets, building sites across uneven desert terrain, and laying smooth track for dolly moves in the medinas of Marrakech and Fez. Our key grips work with the camera and lighting departments during prep to plan rigging, camera support and safety hardware, and our gear is tied to each shooting environment so a remote desert day or a tight medina interior is fully serviced.

Grip work across Morocco accounts for real conditions. Desert locations near the Erg Chebbi or the Dades and Todgha gorges bring heat above 40°C, fine dust that works into moving parts, and soft sand that makes dolly track and sites builds more demanding. The High Atlas adds altitude and, in winter, snow. Gear imported for a production must be logged for customs. We set up carnets and gear lists ahead of arrival to avoid delays.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. On the ground, Foreign shoots operate through a CCM-licensed local production-services partner. With filming permits running through the CCM (Centre Cinématographique Marocain) and provincial wilaya authorities. A 30% cash rebates ready on qualifying Moroccan spend. Our team handles transport, rigging logistics and crew planning across Morocco's different locations.
