About Grips/Gaffers

Grips and Gaffers are the unsung heroes of professional video production. The Gaffer (chief lighting technician) designs and executes the lighting plan to achieve the desired mood and visual quality, while the Grip handles all rigging, camera support, and light-shaping equipment on set. Together, they transform ordinary locations into professional-looking sets with precise control over light, shadow, and visual depth. Assignment Desk provides experienced Grips and Gaffers who arrive with their own lighting and grip equipment — from LED panels and HMI lights to C-stands, flags, silks, and diffusion frames. They work closely with the Director of Photography to bring the creative vision to life, whether the shoot is a studio interview, a product commercial, a multi-day film set, or an outdoor event. For larger productions requiring extensive lighting rigs, Assignment Desk can coordinate additional equipment rentals and crew scaling. All of our Grips and Gaffers are W2 employees covered by workers' compensation insurance, giving productions full liability protection on set.
