production team
Behind-the-scenes staff
A production team is the group of people responsible for creating a media project—film, television show, album, theater production, or similar work.
The term encompasses everyone involved in bringing something to completion, from producers and directors to technical crew: The production team worked eighteen-hour days to meet the deadline.
In music, it typically refers to the smaller group handling recording and mixing.
