A person that places lights, hangs lights, programs lights, focuses lights, fixes lights, designs lighting plots, and stares at the lights once they get to a venue. One of the best guys or gals anyone could have on their side. They have a wide variety of common skills. They can climb, lift,
communicate, see very far, great sex appeal, creative af, tell hands what to pick up, and program lighting fixtures. Their shit may be always
in the way, and sometimes they may not know what’s wrong with their lights. When it comes down to showtime, not one compliant is heard. It may not look like the lighting guy is doing anything
particularly important. Really, he or she just got their shit done I promise you, or ahead of time. Any one lighting guy is equal to at least two and a half sound guys or five video guys.
