My favorite people to look for at the end of movies are Key Grip, Gaffer, and
Best Boy. Now as far as I know (I may be wrong, though) the Key Grip is the
guy that runs around keeping cables out of the way (especially clear of the
cameras when they're rolling around during shooting). The Gaffer is the guy
up in the overhead "gaffing" who re-adjusts the lights for the particular
scenes. The Best Boy is the guy that is essentially a go-fer for some members
of the crew. I did once see a credit for "Key Grip Best Boy" which I thought
was going a bit too far, but then again, it must be fun to see your name on
the silver screen.

	maybe they'll soon be putting the audience up there too!
