grips<\/a>). But, is it actually a job wrestling snakes, or is it another deceptive title?<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are actually a few types of wrangler in film; animal, child (hilarious), and vehicle. As you can imagine, the job is more management than actual wrangling. An animal wrangler is typically the person who trains the animals in the production to perform stunts and action, as well as generally taking care of them. A child wrangler is less sinister than it sounds. It’s someone who coaches the younger actors, as well as being their glorified babysitter. Finally, a vehicle wrangler will provide the cars or vehicles used in the production and keep them in working order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, as school may need to be skipped during filming schedules, a wrangler will oversee schoolwork and educational activites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Animal wranglers are responsible for training beasts and getting them to perform specific stunts or moves when required. When shooting isn’t taken place, an animal wrangler will groom, feed, and care for the animals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things don’t happen by magic, there’s always someone squirrelling away to ensure a film production runs smoothly. So far, we’ve discovered what the gaffer does, and that a focus puller isn’t someone trying to distract the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3652,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1732,1731,1567,1607,1597,1419,1733,580,441,1730],"yoast_head":"\n
