Interviews with some of the Film & TV Industry‘s top Gaffers, Lighting Designers, and lighting manufacturers. They discuss everything from lighting philosophies & technology, to set politics, and the business of owning lighting gear.
On this episode of Lamp Dock, we sit down with two legends of the lighting world—Martin Smith and Lee Eldred—whose partnership has taken them from the early days at Harry Potter all the way to the wild extremes of Mission Impossible. With over 25 years working together, they share how a rental house apprenticeship turned into a global career—rigging cliffside lights in Norway, defrosting generators in the Arctic, and diving 30 meters deep for underwater scenes. But at the heart of it all? Loyalty, laughter, and a relentless passion for the craft.
