Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to construct set elements that are operated through mechanical devices in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for ensuring that mechanical set pieces meet the creative requirements of productions. They may be responsible for supervising others.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
