In the credits for movie “Drive Hard” they give a credit to a “Data Wrangler”
A data wrangler in movie production manages and secures digital footage. According to Data wrangler (also known as loader) in the unscripted TV industry - ScreenSkills, primary responsibilities are:
- Backing up and labeling filmed footage.
- Tracking distribution of filmed footage.
Secondary responsibilities may include:
- Set runner/logger
- Camera setup and maintenance
- Anything else to keep the shooting process running smoothly
In short, data wranglers address this “threat”: Nice movie you’re making there, it’d be a shame if the bits never made it to editing.
