Lighting Technician Services
Pro film lighting across Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split, and across Croatia.
Here is how this works in practice. A lighting technician sets up, operates, and keeps the lighting kit used on a film or television production. They execute the gaffer's instructions, positioning fixtures, running power, and adjusting intensity and color to achieve the desired look. From Dubrovnik\'s medieval walls—made famous by Game of Thrones—to Zagreb\'s urban settings and Split\'s coastal landscapes, precision lighting unlocks Croatia\'s cinematic potential.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with lighting technicians who bring both tech knowledge and creative sensitivity to shoots of each scale. Our network spans Zagreb, Dubrovnik, and Split, with technicians skilled at Jadran Film Studios and on HAVC-supported global co-productions.

On Location
Croatian lighting technicians execute the lighting plan on set, working alongside gaffers across locations from Dubrovnik's Old City to Jadran Film's Zagreb studios.
Here is how this works in practice. We supply lighting technicians who execute a production's lighting plan on Croatian shoots. Our team places lighting technicians who rig and operate lighting kit, manage power distribution and cabling, and support the gaffer in getting the cinematographer's vision on set. They work across Croatia's demanding settings, including the narrow streets of Dubrovnik's Old City. The courtyards of Diocletian's Palace, island exteriors and studio sets at Jadran Film, handling the practical electrical work that turns a lighting design into images on the day.
Here is the short of it. A lighting technician we place works fluently in English, knows the safety needs of electrical work, and brings the tech trust and physical discipline to keep the lighting department running smoothly through long shooting days. They are a dependable part of the electrical crew that visiting shoots count on.
Here is the breakdown. Croatia's lighting crews have been trained through sustained global service shoots. The major projects drawn by the HAVC-administered 'Filming in Croatia' incentive. This includes 'Game of Thrones', 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' and 'Robin Hood', have built electrical departments skilled with large lighting setups in tech demanding locations. Jadran Film in Zagreb, founded in 1946, gives studio infrastructure and an accumulated base of lighting kit and trained crew.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Lighting technicians we place work within Croatian and EU electrical and workplace safety rules, are familiar with today's LED and conventional lighting technology, and gain from EU free movement and straightforward intra-EU gear movement when a production brings in pro lighting kit or extra electrical crew from neighbouring Italy, Slovenia and Austria.
