Throughout my career, about 60% of my work has been in corporate style video. Those kind of videos typically have neither the budget nor the client patience to accommodate the footprint of a 1 or 3 ton grip package and team. Which is why I built out a smart kit that transports easily, is light on wall power and offers flexibility in light control and light quality.

My gaffer kit excels in small spaces, is adaptable and is capable of providing different looks. I transport my gear with a Ford Transit Connect, which means that I can fit into any parking garage in downtown Pittsburgh This means I have flexibility in getting gear into downtown high-rises for those times when loading dock security falls through. I once was a production manager, and I know how big of a hassle it can be to find parking on when pre-production budget barely covers drafting the call sheet.
