What They Do

The Moving Head Operator controls automated fixture positions, colors, and effects in real time on shows where the lighting design incorporates significant intelligent lighting content. This is a separate console or operator position on productions where the LD needs direct, real-time control of moving fixtures independent of the main cue list — following talent, hitting cues on music, or responding to improvisational moments in the show.
