Covering all of the USA and the Caribbean, the team at Frank Gatto will ensure that every aspect of your lighting requirements is completely covered before the big day itself. From the initial design to the transportation of equipment, everything will be carefully crafted to ensure that your audiences never misses a moment.
Lighting Design And Planning
Our Lighting Director will be able to create stunning visual enhancement for multi-camera productions. Working closely with the director and the rest of the production team, we will deliver the type of pictures that they are hoping to see.
A lighting plan will be devised that sets out exactly what the lighting needs to achieve, by taking our directions from working from a cue list and complete plan of the set. From here, we can design the most effective and awe-inspiring lighting for your entire production. Our light desk operators will create a program that knows exactly when to move and change for maximum impact.
We will also undertake comprehensive risk assessments that will include all aspects of the rig, scale drawings of all lamps and their positions, and what lighting gels and circuits to use and when.
Set Up And Construction
Our “Gaffers” are responsible for all the practical aspects of your lighting and location requirements. They work closely with our Lighting Director to realize the creative vision for the production and will be involved during the pre-production stages to assess exactly how much crew and equipment will be required for filming.
Having studied the lighting plan, our Gaffers will brief the rest of their crew and advise them of all relevant health and safety requirements. Having carried out a detailed risk assessment, they will then be charged with overseeing the setup and construction of lighting rigs and lamps, as well as the operation of the lighting board.
Transportation
Because we are experts in our field, we can advise on the best types of light to use for every kind of occasion, and will personally ensure that they reach your event or set in full working order. We work alongside specialist contractors who transport lighting rigs and equipment on a regular basis, to ensure that they are ready to be installed and illuminated on arrival. Our team can also provide fast and efficient load-ins and load-outs, meaning that there is less time spent setting up, and more time spent filming.
Maintenance And Care
We want our lighting equipment to be perfect for every occasion which is why we only supply the very best technical specifications available to us. All of our equipment is regularly tested and fully maintained to ensure our lighting services are second to none. We never work with faulty or underpowered pieces of kit, and our risk assessments cover every aspect of any set, event or outdoor broadcast that we work on.
