Get a scope. Fade up and out unless told other wise. Fades are three secs unkes told other wise. Don't loosen up the pan and tilt all the way, leave some drag on them so we don't see how unsteady you are. As the subject moves away from you iris in and reverse when they come closer. Try not to hit the legs and boarders. Keep your month shut unless you have a question about a cue. Make sure you understand the fixture before show time.I've done spot several times but only in a High School or CC setting. Today I start my first professional spot op gig. Just wondering any quick tips on staying focused or just general ideas would be great!
Good question! The theatre I work for doesn't pay by the hour for production specific staff. Spot ops are payed a standard rate of $40 a performance. Prospective hires are given a schedule during pre-production and expected to be at all rehearsals and performances beginning on tech day. Scheduling conflicts are resolved 5 weeks out of tech.Are you putting them on the clock for that extra 20 minutes ?

If you're going to be doing more spot gigs in the future, I'd invest in one of these. You'll never miss a pickup again
