ABSTRACT
A friend of mine was working with a production as a consultant for their digital lighting. On the first day the lighting designer (LD)/programmer said he was feeling bad and he needed to go to his hotel room to rest. The LD made the right choice by deciding that his health was more important than a simple corporate event. He knew that someone on the staff would cover and guarantee that the production continued as normal. One key element to remember is that in most cases, the production is about the act or event, not the lights. Whether a concert, theatrical event, house of worship, or corporate presentation, all productions can continue without any specialized lighting.
