No light, no picture.
For lighting crew
Gaffers, best boys and light men. The crew a DOP asks for by name. Now a producer can find them too.
1
Hired as a team
A gaffer can come with their light men. The crew list shows the whole unit and its cost.
2
Trusted by name
DOPs who have worked with you can confirm it. That counts for more than any rating.
3
Every day on paper
Rate, days and payment dates are written down before the first light is rigged.

Diya दीयाA 'chimera' is a soft box that fits on a lamp to make a soft, wrapping light.

Filmi sitara सिताराNight shoots in villages often run on a single generator for the whole unit.
Diya दीयाRain scenes are lit from behind, or the rain does not show on camera.
