About Our Work in Film & Television

When we prep for a shoot, we do not just tick boxes on an inventory list. We examine the cinematographer's script breakdown first. Whether it is managing the 1000fps requirements for high-speed action sequences or rigging custom soft-source grids to handle the specific humidity challenges of a Mumbai monsoon, we build the support structure around the visual goal.

Lighting a set is about understanding the cinematographer's intent and providing the technical tools to execute it. We started our journey in the era of 35mm film, learning the craft when sets relied on raw resourcefulness. Today, while our inventory has evolved to include the latest RGBACL LED engines, Creamsource Vortex systems, and wireless DMX control, our approach remains anchored in that foundation of deep set experience.

Our Approach

We are gaffers first and rental providers second. This means we understand what happens when a shot list changes on the day, or when a location requires a creative rigging solution rather than a standard stand setup. We have supported everything from the gritty atmosphere of award-winning projects like 'Santosh' and 'Ray' to the high-energy visuals of action sequences in films like 'Dhaakad'.

Technical Capabilities

  • Precision Control: We deploy Astera Titan tubes with ART7 transmitters and complex DMX setups to give your team granular control over color and intensity.
  • Heavy-Duty Rigging: Our inventory includes India’s largest stash of Kupo Grip crank stands and custom trussing for setups that require massive soft sources.
  • Reliability: We prioritize safety and consistency. Every rental comes with in-house designed power distribution boxes, ensuring your set stays powered through long hours and unpredictable location conditions.

We do not just hand over gear. We consult on lighting plans, ensure the crew is equipped to manage the specific fixtures requested, and provide the technical backup to keep the camera rolling.
