**Type:** Freelance, project-based **Location:** Ruoholahti, Helsinki **Application DL:** Sun 17.05.2026 Know how to light a scene so it just works? On It Films is looking for Gaffers to join their freelance pool and bring Supercells community content to life. **What will you be doing?** As a Gaffer at On It Films, youll take ownership of lighting on set making sure every scene is lit clearly, consistently, and efficiently. Youll work on fast-paced productions creating community-driven YouTube content for Supercells global player base. Youll work closely with the DoP and production team to plan and execute lighting setups for green screen productions. Your role is to translate visual plans into practical setups handling everything from rigging and power distribution to ensuring the lighting works exactly as intended on camera.

The goal is simple smooth shoot days where everything just works. **What makes you a great fit?** You know lighting inside out and can build clean, effective setups without overcomplicating things.
