Some production companies may try to cut costs by eliminating a position here or there, but if you don&#039;t have qualified professionals handling lighting, you could have a safety issue, in addition to a subpar production.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three positions you should make sure are a part of your stage crew:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Console Electrician:<\/strong> Typically, the console electrician performs focus and color checks before each performance. They&#039;re also usually behind the the light board during the show, making sure that it is programmed correctly and that the lighting design plays out smoothly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Master Electrician: <\/strong>It&#039;s one thing to be knowledgeable about stage lighting and <a href=\"https:\/\/gobosource.com\/gos\/custom-gobos-pricing.php\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">custom gobos<\/a>, but&nbsp;it&#039;s another to know about how to properly rig these instruments so that they don&#039;t pose electrical hazards. The electrician&#039;s job is to make sure that your lighting is properly wired and that power distribution is done in a safe, responsible way.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Technical Director (TD): <\/strong>The TD is in charge of ensuring that all of the various components of the stage &#8212; the scenery, lighting, sound, costumes and props &#8212; come together in a technical sense, meaning that they are synced through light programming and other technologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can take your production to another level by incorporating <a href=\"https:\/\/gobosource.com\/gos\/custom-gobos-pricing.php\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">custom gobo design<\/a> into your lighting rig. When used effectively, these can have a tremendous impact on your scenes and help establish the right atmosphere with your audience.
