Production Expendables in Philadelphia
Gels and diffusion, every tape a set burns through, batteries, clothespins, blackwrap, chalk, and the hundred small things a day quietly consumes. Expendables aren’t glamorous, but running out of half-soft frost at 4 p.m. is its own kind of disaster. We stock the consumables so your crew isn’t improvising.
Past this point: the homework we did so Google would let you find us.
Set Expendables for Philadelphia Productions
Every Philly shoot burns the same staples — gaff and paper tape, gels, diffusion, batteries, and the grip-truck miscellany that holds a day together. We keep it stocked and delivered with your gear so the budget for it is planned, not a panic run to a hardware store in Manayunk mid-setup.
What expendables do you stock?
Lighting gels and diffusion, gaffer/paper/camera tape, batteries (the sizes set gear actually eats), blackwrap, clothespins (C-47s), chalk, markers, and the common consumables across grip, electric, and camera.
Can you match gels and diffusion to my lighting order?
Yes — tell us the fixtures and the look and we’ll include the gels and diffusion to match, cut sizes and all, so it arrives ready to clip in.
Can you restock us mid-shoot?
On longer Philadelphia jobs, yes — we’re local enough to top you up so a multi-day shoot doesn’t run dry on day two.
Do you deliver expendables with the rest of the order?
Yes, packed with your gear to the set or stage, so it’s one delivery and one line on the budget.
How are expendables billed?
Expendables are consumed, so they’re sold rather than rented — you keep what you use. We’ll give you a clear count with the order.
