We have a trade show on January 29th and are looking for a gaffer/grip to assist with lighting a small wine/spirits bottle shot setup we are building on the trade show floor. The applicant will be responsible for working directly with the DP to light the scene accordingly to his direction.

They would help set up lighting on first show day, and then switch to camera in more of a first AC role simply to assist DP. All shots will be static, so there will not be much focus pulling, if any.
