NT : Discover : Backstage : Lighting and special effects : Lighting : Follow spots
Follow spots have a lot more to them than just being a light that an operator can point at an actor to ensure they are well enough lit. All kinds of different types of light can be produced by skilful manipulation of the controls, and follow spot operators must be able to aim the light accurately while following cues from the Deputy Stage Manager.
