I've been a spotlight a few times, as a currently unemployed stagehand. It's a hard business, especially what he says about loosing friends-- it's true. People come and go and you never see them again. Solidarity to Brian and everyone! Thanks for making this video!

So well done and such an interesting profile. Without great lighting designers and technicians it would be a pretty flat show. Kudos!

The movers and the spots in the ceiling were the first thing I noticed when I watched Hamilton

What people don’t know is that these lights range between $400 and $20000+ depending on the fixture and manufacturer.
