Gaffer, Grip and Lighting Requirements
The gaffer works with the DOP on the lighting setup and coordinates the lighting crew. Grip crew support stands, flags, diffusion, camera support and agreed rigging. Electrical distribution and specialist rigging need the appropriate personnel and site approval.
For a Guangzhou shoot, share lighting references, room photographs, floor plans, power information, access times and the camera plan. Confirm loading, lift dimensions, installation time and strike arrangements before finalising the crew and lighting package.
