technical crew
Behind-the-scenes team
The technical crew handles the behind-the-scenes work that makes a production possible—lighting, sound, set construction, camera operation, and similar tasks.
Distinguished from the creative or on-screen talent, the technical crew ensures everything functions properly: The technical crew arrived hours before the actors to set up.
Often shortened to just crew.
