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.

Gaffer

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 2400B—
The Bright One

Being able to get this much output from a wall outlet is nuts. (click the image to visit Meet The Gaffer for an episode with an ARRI M40 shoot out)

Nanlux Evoke 2400B

Godox F600Bi—
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 Hard vs Soft episode)

Kino Flo Air Max—
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 few)
