Film Lighting Australia delivers experienced lighting departments for commercials, content, feature films and television. Crew, equipment and transport — scaled to your schedule, budget and creative brief.
Film Lighting Australia is led by Grahame Dickson — a gaffer and lighting department head with a career spanning feature films, television drama, major live broadcasts, music videos, commercials and international productions across Australia, Europe, the UK, Asia and the United States.
We supply crew, equipment and transport to deliver lighting that works within real production schedules, budgets and conditions — from content shoots through to large-scale commercial and long-form work.
Every production receives the same standard of senior oversight, regardless of scale. Packages range from lean content setups and pre-loaded vans through to full truck-based lighting departments.
All packages include experienced crew, production-tested equipment and on-set infrastructure. Configurations are adjusted during quoting — these are typical starting points, not fixed bundles.
Grahame Dickson has worked across every major production format — from network live broadcasts with no margin for error to intimate independent films. This is not entry-level work.
All equipment is current, maintained and delivered as part of a working lighting department — not dry hire. Final selections are confirmed during quoting based on your locations, schedule and creative brief.
A detailed equipment breakdown is provided during quoting. Additional equipment can be sourced on request.
