Meet Chris Andrus
Lighting Director / Gaffer
I have worked as Lighting Director on numerous projects over the years. Often creating and collaborating on a variety of live multi camera productions from presidential announcements, talk show, sports events, news broadcast, reality TV, infomercials and more. I find what separates me from other Lighting Directors is my knowledge of camera operation and by keeping up with the newest tech it helps me offer fresh new ideas to my clients and crew. Being able to understand operation and how to get the most out not only lighting instruments but also the look threw the camera. Collaborating often with DP's , DIT's & Camera Engineers on set to achieve the look of the production. I take pride in knowing the experience I bring helps to elevate each production that I work on.
