Have you ever wondered what’s inside a pro gaffer’s lighting truck? 🚛💡

Welcome to Truck Tour, Aputure’s newest series where we step inside the rigs of your favorite lighting designers, CLTs, and rigging gaffers.

In this first episode, Matt Ardine (gaffer from Everything, Everywhere, All at Once) gives us a full tour of his 10-ton lighting truck, currently optimized for commercial work.

From his custom Storm Cart loaded with Aputure 1200Xs to his LED-forward approach (earning him the nickname "Green Gaffer"), Matt’s setup is built for fast turnarounds and seamless execution.

Oh, and yes, when the work’s done, this truck might just turn into a party spot. 🎉
