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!
