[SML] "Out-3-5-7-Full "

[e-mail frank.wood95]

I don't know about anyone else, but when I am creating a 'look', I
waggle the faders around until I see the right picture. Then I record
it, either by writing the settings down on pieces of paper or by
pressing the record button. All the time I am looking at the stage.

There are two parts to the LD's job. First, to rig the right
luminaires in the right places,and second, to adjust their intensities
to give the right picture. The last includes colouring them up, as
needed.]

At the lighting rehearsal, the transitions between the pictures get
organised, and the operational script gets written. After that, it is
a matter of rehearsing the operator(s), depending on how manual the
operation is. To those who insist on every cue being called, I suggest
giving the SM a remote GO button, which takes one reaction time out of
the timing.

That said, I should still insist on having a capable operator at the
board, who can handle problems, when they arise. And they will.
