RICHARD MACDONALD

Vancouver-based Gaffer with experience on a wide range of projects including TV Series, MOWs, Commercials and Features.

​

I pride myself on leading an extremely efficient and effective lighting crew. I work extremely well under pressure and I am always searching for creative and challenging new projects.

I live and breath lighting and being onset. Every shot, every angle is critical to me, and I love to maximize the potential for every frame of "film".  There are no details that are set aside or ignored if I have the appropriate time and manpower. 

​

My business partner, Eric Chen, and myself own and operate FilmGear Canada, a rental house based out of East Vancouver. We started our business to fill a gap in terms of providing new, reliable gear, at an affordable price. Affordable and reliable are two terms that are not often paired in the film industry.
