Best boy



         


In a film crew, the best boy is an assistant to the gaffer and part of the camera department. On short films or low and zero budget films, the lighting team often consists of only a gaffer and best boy. They are responsible for the lighting of the set or location and take direction from the director of photography (D.o.P). Female best boys are, as a rule, still credited as a "best boy", but often are called "best girl" on-set.
