Our story
IN 2005 WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER AS A GRIP TEAM FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT WAS THE SECOND UNIT OF „ERAGON”. THE FIRST MILESTONE WHEN THE FOUNDERS OF „THE MOB” WORKED HAND IN HAND.
THE TASK WASN’T EASY –AS USUAL… 10 WEEKS WITH 7 CAMERAS, ON LOCATION, MOSTLY NIGHTSHOOT… ALL THE HARD DAYS HAD BEEN MADE US THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED GRIP CREW IN HUNGARY. THE FRESHLY ESTABLISHED TEAM HAS WORKED ON… OVER LOTS OF INTERNATIONAL AND HUNGARIAN MOVIES AND ALSO LOADS OF COMMERCIALS.
AFTER A FEW YEARS OF COMMON WORK WE STARTED TO THINK ABOUT A BRAND, AN IMAGE THAT BELONGS TO US AND ONLY US. IT TOOK A YEAR TO FIND THE NAME: „THE MOB”. THIS IS THE ONE WE PROUDLY FEEL PERSONAL.
THE MOB – MEANS FRIENDSHIP AND ALSO CONVERGENCE AMONG US.
ANOTHER REALLY IMPORTANT THING TO US IS TO RESPECT EACH OTHER EVERY TIME AND SHARE ALL OUR THOUGHTS, OPINIONS WHILE
BEING FRIENDS AS WELL, NOT ONLY WORKMATES… JOKING ALL THE TIME OF COURSE AND TEASING EACH OTHER… THAT’S HOW WE WORK… AND NOT JUST FOR THE GOOD MOOD.
SO…IN 2010 WE HAD AN IDEA… BUT WE NEEDED A LOGO AS WELL
THE MOB -AS ALWAYS- WANTED A LOGO THAT SQUARELY SHOWS OUR COMMITMENT TO THE FILM INDUSTRY WITHOUT ANY CLICHES. IT WASN’T EASY BECAUSE WE ALL ARE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES WITH VARIOUS IDEAS AND VISUAL IMAGINATIONS… OBVIOUSLY WE WANTED A LOGO THAT MAKES SMILE ON OUR FACES.. THE SAME SMILE FOR ALL OF US 🙂 SO AFTER ONE AND A HALF YEARS OF SKETCHING AND PLANNING WE HAVE FOUND THE REAL ONE! EVERYONE THINKS IT’S TRULY OURS AND WE LOVE IT.
DURING THIS PERIOD WE STARTED TO INVEST AND MANUFACTURE OUR GRIP EQUIPMENT PARK. THE FIRST PIECE WAS A „TWIN TUBE PUDDLEMOUNT” WITH SOME ACCESSORIES -HERITAGE FROM ATTILA’S FATHER. WE HAVE REALIZED THAT TO WORK WITH OUR OWN EQUIPMENT IS SAFER AND MORE PERSONAL, THEREFORE WE PRODUCE THEM, WE MAINTENANCE THEM, WE CHECK THEM, AND MODIFY THEM AS WE WANT IT… IN THIS WAY IT FEELS MUCH BETTER TO WORK WITH OUR OWN GEAR..:)
2009 WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT THAT WAS A RONFORD BAKER SLIDER-
2010 WE GOT OUR 12 t GRIPTRUCK THAT TRANSPORTS OUR GEAR … AND THE FRIDGE FULLY LOADED WITH BEER AND REDBULL… ALSO SOME CHOCOLATE… 🙂 …SO WE LOVE IT…
2011 „THE OLD LADY” ARRIVED (AKA FILMAIR GIRAFFE CLASSIC CRANE), AND WE ALSO BOUGHT OUR SECOND TRUCK…
AND THE SHOW MUST GO ON…
