Production and crew

Lighting and grip

Lighting control, power distribution, rigging, and safety gear.

Gaffer and grip on set

Gaffer

As gaffer we design the lighting, run lighting control, including wireless DMX, and plan power distribution for the lights. We work out the setup for the location and run it on the day.

Grip

As grip we handle rigging, bring safety gear for the setup, and keep the set safe for the crew and the equipment. Gaffer and grip are different jobs: one handles the light, the other handles the rigging and the safety of the set.

Under your DP

We light to your DP's plan. The look stays the DP's call, and we make it hold up across the day. We deliver the lighting control, power distribution and rigging that carry the look out.

When roles overlap

Chase takes one principal role per shoot. If lighting runs at the same time as camera, sound or aerial, we bring in specialists for those roles.

What to send us

Tell us the location, whether power is available on site, and how many lights your DP plans to use, so we can arrive with the right distribution for the day.

Rates on request

Send the date, location and roles you need. We reply within one business day.
