Gaffer: Joel Rainsley
Planning something similar? I can spec the kit, source the crew and handle the electrics.
Another successful commercial shoot with me as gaffer, this time at the well-equipped Centre Stage Studios in Islington, London. Director of photography Sam Gordon shot this Trainline commercial, directed by Ben Cookson, featuring a well-known actress from the popular series Poldark.
The studio featured an innovative spacelight alternative using Arri tungsten sky panels. They were surprisingly punchy, and three 10kW Fresnels were needed as a key to cover the action during tracking shots.
Towards the end of the day, sparks James Cavan and Russ Greening got inventive with a rotating gobo rig to simulate a moving train window. Everyone was extremely happy with the results, and I look forward to working with production company Redcreate and everyone involved again.
