Lanyards for the Film and TV Industry
From Hollywood blockbusters to local shows streamed on YouTube, the film and TV industry is huge. Production companies can be small or large, but usually have an array of staff including actors or presenters, production crew, and support staff; for the security of everyone on-site as well as for giving access only to appropriate persons lanyards are widely used to carry ID and passes. With a minimum order quantity of just 100 when you shop at Absolute Lanyards, lanyards for the film and TV industry are suitable for most productions and easily customisable.
Uses for Lanyards in Film and TV Production
From small bespoke productions to blockbuster movies, to produce or film or show it is likely that multiple people will be involved including:
- Actors
- Backstage staff
- Visitors
- Contractors
Obviously, actors are the stars of the show, and for blockbuster films may be well-known, however, they are still likely to be required to wear a custom lanyard with ID card. This card may need to be scanned in and out of set for health and safety, work hours, and security purposes. A TV or film production requires crew and backstage staff including, but not limited to, directors, producers, videographers, costume, hair and make-up, as well as runners, and other support staff. Each member of the team will be required to use a lanyard with ID card holder.
A TV or film set may also on occasion have contractors onsite to build the sets, provide expertise, even animals or stunt performers; each contractor will also require a lanyard denoting their role. ID cards may also provide access to certain areas and exclude access to other areas. There may of course also be visitors, these may be students, competition winners, family or friends of actors or other team members, press etc. these individuals will need a ‘visitor’ lanyard and access pass where applicable.
