Step 1: How To Wrap a Cable the Right Way Over Under by Javier Mercedes

This is the #1 skill needed for any production role. Cables whether small or large are vital to the success of technical productions.

Wisdom

  • “But all things should be done decently and in order.” - Book of 1 Corinthians 14:40
  • ““One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.” - Luke 16:10

Overview

  • This skill is foundational. This will either close or open professional opportunities. Though seemingly simple, wrapping cables over under help retain the integrity of the cable to last longer, and to stay organized, especially when moving from a few ables to more and longer cables.

Application:

  1. Find a cable.
  2. Practice wrapping the cable multiple times today.
  3. Practice multiple times a week to get more comfortable with this foundational skill.
