In Appreciation of Followspot Operators
During my time as a Department Head of Lighting, I had the privilege of managing a group of amazing technicians who ran the eight followspots used in our show. I’ve had to interview and audition many people to fill those positions. Some didn’t make the cut during the interview, others in the audition, and still others I needed to terminate because they simply could not run the followspot at the level required for the show.
