film crews

Behind-the-scenes workers

Film crews are the teams of technical and creative professionals who work together to produce a movie, television show, or other video production.

The term encompasses everyone behind the camera—cinematographers, sound technicians, lighting specialists, grips, gaffers, makeup artists, and dozens of other specialists.

The film crew arrived at 5 a.m. to set up for the day's shoot.
