• Anticipation of likely unrehearsed changes

• Consideration of any Branding requirements

• Compliance with relevant legal duties

• Respect and Trust in the lighting team; never asking them to do something would not be prepared to do oneself.

Equipment failure in a high-pressure, real-time environment is be expected - but many such failures are unique and are difficult to anticipated, so :

• Single-points of catastrophic failure that can be managed in advance should be identified, and any Mitigation Procedures must actually be tested in a safe environment or cannot be relied on!
• However, avoid introducing additional complications which result in increased failure risk instead of decreasing. Layers of Fallbacks are better than simply expecting what happened once before to happen again.
• Won’t make a Drama out of a Crisis; Will use decades of experience to determine the way out of the Crisis

No Silos here! Always have…

• an Understanding of…
• a Consideration and Respect of…
• an Active Liaison with…
• …all Other Crafts.
