The lighting engineer, one of the creators of television images, is also known as the "lighting engineer." The lighting engineer uses a variety of professional lighting to create a variety of "light and shadow effects" according to the artistic style of different images.

Although the exposure rate of the outside world to the lighting engineer is lower than that of the actors on stage, in a complete performance, the role of the lighting engineer can be compared with other artistic talents such as directors, actors and so on.

At present, there are few excellent lighting engineers, so the market of lighting engineers has a certain potential. What conditions do you need to be a real "lighting engineer"?

一、 Foundation：

1-Certain learning ability and artistic accomplishment are the "foundation" of a lighting engineer.

2-No fear of heights, flexible fingers and arms, good health, because the stage requires"climbing" lighting;

3-Visual function must be good, first-class lighting engineers need a pair of critical eyes.

二、Experience

The lighting engineer must get real hard work from practice again and again, and does not necessarily rely on academic qualifications to prove the level. Therefore, before becoming an excellent lighting engineer, the experience of each performance lighting is extremely precious and must be cherished. Experienced and experienced, and flexible in the future to deal with the complexities encountered in the performance.

三、Knowledge

What are the properties of various light sources? The characteristics of various lamps? How to control the effect of filter?

What effect can different lights be combined into?

These are all the knowledge that the lighting engineer needs!

First of all, the lighting engineer should have a detailed understanding of the space situation at the performance site;

Need to understand the floor plan of the performance space, the profile data, and the height, width and depth of the stage;

Then, the lighting engineer has to understand the theme of each performance, find out the plot changes, conflicts, character characteristics, envisioning the environment, in order to better mobilize the lighting service performance.

 In general, art schools set up lighting majors. The main courses are: stage lighting technology, computer-aided design, stage lighting computer operating system, director basis, painting and photography.

四、Lighting engineer,Please be prepared.

Duty:

The perfect combination of pre-performance design and stage art,lighting control and lighting effects during performance;

Stage professional lighting design, wiring, lighting;

Stage lighting construction management: installation, commissioning, performance site control, regular maintenance to ensure normal operation;

Requirement:

Familiar with the principle and performance of various lamps and lanterns;

Have professional knowledge of lighting and audio, familiar with the operation of various digital lighting and audio equipment;

Proficiency in console operation, stage lighting arrangement and system connection;

Can design the stage lighting effect according to the performance requirements, and compile the stage lighting scheme;It is sensitive to color and has excellent aesthetics.

Experience in star performances, concerts, conference lighting and sound system construction and master control;

With on-the-spot ability, innovative spirit and team spirit;

Especially able to endure hardship, especially able to withstand pressure!

The lighting engineers are one of the "army adviser" backstage. They provide proper stage lighting effects for the performance and enrich the spare time of people.

Since lighting are used by lighting engineer, it becomes one of the artistic means of creating stage effects, which creating a more lively and beautiful stage.

Learning is an endless journey.

Lighting engineers are "elves" who specialize in designing lighting at will. We need more time and great patience to make them more professional.
