About Me
Hello! I'm Gérard Fass, a professional gaffer with a deep love in creating cinematic lightening for video productions. Based in Germany, I have over eight - year working experience in Feature Films, commercials, television productions and live shows.
During the previous years, I had the priviledge of contributing on numerous productions, bringing directors' and cinematographers' visions to reality. As a Gaffer, I am not just setting up lights, I tune into the Director of Photography's vision and provide ideal lightening design for the production. My curiosity always driving me to explore innovative ideas and lightening techniques to shape stories.
