MCGaming6 If you are able to, have plenty of practising manoeuvring the follow spot in advance. This will enable you to become familiar with how to effectively handle the follow spot and become acquainted to any particular quirks which may be present. Aim for smooth and consistent panning and tilting. Make use of its iris to find your beam's position on stage when relocating before expanding the beam to a size where it is obvious. If you're lucky, the follow spot may have an integrated sight for aiming in blackouts.
Thank you for all this advice I enjoyed it when you used to do theatre as you inspired me to do it

MCGaming6 That should hopefully be plenty of time for you to become used to using it bedtime your show.
