Walkie Zones

Some walkies will have different zones or channels that can be segmented to transmit communications to specific groups within the production crew.

Walkie-Talkie (Walkies)

Walkies are used by the crew to communicate throughout the location. Cell phones for calls and text are often used, but Walkies and the Walkie Channels are important to learn.  See also Comms and Hot Bricks.

Workers’ Compensation

This is a type of business insurance that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related.

Wrangler

On larger production there can be a variety of different types of wranglers – vehicle wranglers, animal wranglers, child wranglers – it just depends on what the script calls for. In general, a wrangler is someone who’s responsible for people or things that can’t be responsible for themselves, such as wild animals, small children, and inanimate (but sometimes expensive) objects.
