Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: calling cues? (warning vs standby)
« on: Aug 22, 2008, 09:45 pm »
i only use standbys nowadays (except for cases previously mentioned), but in the past, i remember the use of both warnings and standbys to be more common, i think because 2 scene preset boards took a lot longer to set up a Q on than just pressing a button...
The warning gave the board op enough time to either set up the Q, and/or time to check to make sure it is correctly set with time to fix it if it wasn't. But most of my experience then was with school and community-type theatres (both as SM and as board op at different times!) - the professional world may not have needed the extra time...
