It’s more like Santa’s got a brand new Transit!  Santa knows that times change and if you want to stay competative, you’ve got to update your look.  The new PGL Ford Transit Connect is a zippy 1/4 Ton grip truck that doubles as a PGL delivery vehicle when not working on your job.  It offers excellent fuel economy, a cavernous cargo space with a small footprint and a smooth ride.  Let’s just say the ladies love it.  Call today for a list of equipment or stop on by if you’d like to take a look!

As we move into winter (aw, stop yer crying), don’t forget to prepare for colder, wetter days on set.  Pacific Grip & Lighting stocks Setwear brand gloves to keep you warm and dry!  Setwear offers two different options, depending on your need.  The Setwear Cold Weather gloves have 100% Thinsulate lining, meaning they are not so bulky you can’t do finite tasks, and a reinforced palm and fingers, meaning they will stick it out through the winter, if you can.  Setwear also offers their Water Ops line of gloves.  The Ultra Grip Palm and fingers means that as you toil in the muck and rain of Oregon, cable won’t turn into spaghetti, slipping through your hands.   Bonus?  Both gloves are machine washable. 

  Setwear offers a full line of gloves, bags and belts.  The Portland store is currently offering 10% off of the EZ Fit and EZ Fit 2 line of gloves (in stock items only) through the end of November.  Stop in to our heated showroom and try a pair on!

The 2011 Oregon Media Production Directory is now available!     If you are not a member of OMPA, you did not receive a book.  Never fear!  There are a few ways you can.  The best way is to become a member of OMPA.  The second option is to purchase a copy for $35 at www.sourceoregon.com.  Lastly, PGL has a handful of books!  Reserve any rental $50 or more and we will give you a hard copy of the Source Oregon book.  You will  find your entire shoot in one place!  Everything from accountants to lighting (hi there!) to writers in one handy booklet.  Not only can you find your crew, but there is a helpful mileage and sunrise/sunset table, as well as climate information for all the areas of Oregon included.  Our favorite part is in the front of the book…highlights of all the feature and television productions done in Oregon.  Did you know that in 1916 a movie called “The Stolen Pie” was filmed in Medford?  It sounds like a suspense filled drama, if you ask us (I mean, what kind of evil would steal a pie?!).
