Film Lighting & Gaffing - Alex Purcell

Are you keen to break into the film industry? 

Are you an industry professional itching to check out a fully tricked out Gaffer van? 

Are you a mutant 'moth-person' dazzled by bright lights? 

This event is for you!

Pluggas Studio's FREE Technical Workshops continue with a 'spotlight' on Film Lighting...

One of the hardest things about working in the professional space is understanding the equipment Hollywood uses everyday. It's near impossible to get access to, and even harder to get practical experience with.

If you want to get hands-on and learn from a Professional Gaffer, this is for you.

In this session, you will experience:

• Diving into a real-life 'Gaffer van' packed chock-a-block full of film lighting equipment - just like when it arrives on-set - so you can explore the gear, experiencing a Gaffer's 'shoot day one' first-hand
• Doing a lighting setup for a studio shoot, so you can understand how all of that specialty equipment fits together to put the 'LIGHTS!' into 'LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!'

ALEX PURCELL

Highly experienced professional Gaffer and Cinematographer, and Sunny Coast Showdown 2024 'Crewwy Award' winner, ALEX PURCELL, is offering aspiring local filmmakers insider tips for working in the screen industry, and hands-on experience with professional film lighting equipment.
