Gear
2-Ton Lighting & Grip Truck
ISUZU NPR-HD / 8 ft x 11 ft x 21 ft
A trusty steed for the work at hand. This compact box truck fits in a regular parking spot just like a sprinter, has an ample lift gate that can load two large carts at a time, a curbside side door, and two jockeys. Most of the grip is included in the $450/day + $1.10/mile rate, while the lights are pay-as-used. See what’s pre-loaded in PDF.

Luke Seerveld
Owner/Gaffer, Seerveld Lighting
With over three decades of experience on Features, Commercials, Corporate, and Documentaries, I’m up for almost anything if the work is connected to good people, going rates, and gastronomic enjoyment! But seriously, I love the work and hope we have an opportunity to do something we can feel good about. Usually $850/10 hours

Tools We’re Using Regularly
Nanlux Evoke 5000B—
The Brighter One
Being able to get this much output a putt-putt genny is nuts. (click the image to visit Meet The Gaffer for an episode with an shoot out that includes an M40 and M90!)
Godox F800R—
Large, Lightweight, Flexible
It has a nice quality of light in good form factor and puts out enough output that you can make it plenty soft. (click the image for a an episode using the F800R with a Brokeh Santa Fe color print)
Godox F400R—
Go-to Mat for slimness
A slim full color, unit that is easy to rig and works well with existing controls and rigging. (click the image to go to an Instagram post where we used a two on menace arms)
Aputure Spotlight Max—
Works with many units!
For raw light, cuts, and patterns, this attachment nicely augments a few of the full color lights we like to use. (click the image to go to a Shoot Out episode)
