Thank you to everyone for your advise/help/recommendations!  It really was helpful!  Basically it seemed like everyone operated pretty much the same.  I do the same thing for the most part and just need to finesse the process.  I'm going to make my own Spot Cue Sheets/Templates for spot ops from now on.  Our LD never does so I'm going to take it on myself.  Thanks for all the advise and help!  I really appreciate it.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / CALLING: Calling Spot Light Cues

« on: Nov 11, 2006, 12:20 am »

Question for all:

What method do you use for calling spot light cues?  I've heard several different things but haven't found a method that REALLY works for me.  The last show I did, I ended up having to explain to two spot ops what each spot light cue is and how the spot should be focused, how large, what gel color, etc.  As you all know, in a heavy cue sequence, this is not possible.  Any tips or ideas of a reliable way of doing spot cues?  Any advice/help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Oops, sorry about that.  I typed the message and meant to go back and double check the exact address and enter the website before I sent it.

The Website is www.myepi.net

It's free or anyone whether they have Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance or not.  It's great b/c if you ever are in an accident and the paramedics need to get you and know your history, medications, and/or allegeries they know what to do.  Same thing if you go into the Emergency.  I have some serious allergies to many different medications so it's very important me to have the card.  And I've had to use the card once a couple weeks ago when I had to go to the ER while I was out of town and had a minor concussion.  It's a good idea for anyone and everyone to have.  Sorry about not entering the website!  Hope it helps!

Something else I urge everyone, not just cast/company members on particular show, is to go to www. and fill out the Emergency Card info.  Basically you go through and answer questions about your health, family history/health, what medication you're on, if you have any allergies, past surgery, in case of emergency contact, and any/all health problems you may be having.  You enter in all this information and make an account and then within a couple of days you get a card in the mail.  It's the same size as a drivers license or credit care and it fits in your wallet.  There is a code printed on the card that is unique to you.  If you have an accident or suddenly get horribly ill, a paramedic and/or doctor can the take card, enter the code number, and access your complete medical history, problems, medications you're on and allergies you may have.  I've been battling cancer since I was 7 so it's great for me to have the card b/c I've had to go to the hospital suddenly and no one knows what all is going on.  You don't have to be insured by Blue Cross Blue Shield to get the card.  But it is wonderful.  I try to tell as many people as possible so they can have the extra piece of mind.  I try to encourage anyone in cast, crews, friends and family about the card.  My whole family has their own cards as well as my fiance.  Just something to think about!
