Frequently Asked Questions

Gaffering, or hiring a ‘Gaffer’ is the industry term used to describe the role of setting up and lighting scenes for commercial advert production, and film making.

It is also applied to lighting photographic sets – both in the studio, and on location.

The role of a Gaffer is to work between the producer or client, and the photographer or videographer, creating the style and mood required based on a brief.

We charge based on the time needed, plus any ‘special’ equipment required.

Usually we quote in 1/2 or full days – as most productions are at least this length.

We can work long days if needed, either in the studio or on location. Our typical rates will be inclusive of the lighting, grip and stands needed. If additional specialist equipment is needed this can be costed separately.

Pretty much everything!

From flash to continuous, we’re covered for lighting. We also have a very large supply of stands, flags, clamps (grip) and bounce boards.
We also have lightning modifiers, distribution cables and diffusion (skrim) frames.
