Forget diamonds, Jon Gambino is the real treasure at LH Video Services.
He is the backbone of the shop, juggling equipment like a circus pro, and keeping the shop cleaner than a Michelin-starred kitchen.Jon Gambino, Equipment Manager at LH Video
Jody, our co-owner, puts it best: “Jon doesn’t just take great care of the equipment, he truly cares about every person he comes in contact with during the process. Jon truly loves people . Kind of like the male version of myself.”
Think of Jon as the magic behind the scenes.
He prepares all the equipment for each job, keeps everything organized like a Swiss watch, and even cleans the shop (because someone’s gotta do it!).
He coordinates operators with the exact gear needed for their shoots and ensures the gear is in tip-top shape to wow the clients.
If LH Video Services were a restaurant, Jon would be the Michelin-starred chef. He preps the carts and monitors, scans it all in and out, making sure every shot is “cooked to perfection” on set.
Jon is also an incredible photographer, capturing the world through his lens with an eye that’s both Italian and New Yorker to the core.
And somehow, this ageless wonder still looks like he’s in his 20s!
Jon may not be the one in the spotlight, but he’s the one holding the spotlight, making sure everyone else can shine.
So next time you see some of our operators killing it on set, remember Jon Gambino was behind the scenes, making it all happen
We’re lucky to have him, and we’re so happy to share him with the world (sort of).
Cheers to Jon!
