Okay, So I've been asked to work on this production in 2 weeks. First off, I'm not receiving any design fee, although I will be putting 60+ hours into the production within 2 weeks of tech. Not getting paid isn't the issue, I am still a freshmen in HS, so I design more for the experience than the cash.
The producer wants someone else to design the plot, and me to "program the show", which in his way means, to take the plot from the other person and create all the cues from that. He wants me to do this because he says I'm the "best and fastest programmer he knows" (again referring to programmer as designing the "look" of every cue)
The problem I have with this is that he only wants the person designing the plot to receive "Designer" credit in the playbill. I feel that if he's designing the plot and I'm designing the looks of the cues, we both should receive the "Lighting Designer" title. Personally I would like it to say "Lighting Design - Me & Him", and "ETC Programmer - Me"
Am I Wrong?
Please give your opinion, it is greatly appreciated.
