Study Notes

Contingency Planning for Lighting Cues

Preparation is essential in production for handling unexpected issues during performances or events.
Hardcopy cue sheets serve as a backup method for manually operating lighting consoles, offering reliability if software fails.
Identifying alternative instruments or channels ahead of time allows for quick adjustments to cues if primary cues malfunction.
Emergency cue sheets can be developed, providing a fallback in scenarios like dimmer circuit failures or burned-out lighting instruments.
Maintaining the show’s continuity is the top priority; sometimes, simply flooding the stage with basic lighting is enough to keep the performance going.
Problems with recorded cue failures can arise from improper patching of console channel inputs and outputs.
Mix-ups during data entry into the control console may inadvertently alter channel patching, disrupting cue functionality.
Regular comparisons between patching reports, instrument schedules, and cue printouts can help identify and resolve patching discrepancies.
