I’ve noticed a downward trend in lighting techs over the last few years. When I was young and new, I was taught to respect the LD and production personnel. I was in awe of these people and wanted to learn by example. I didn’t complain when they ask me to do something, I just did it. I was proud to have people notice me as a guy who could take care of things when asked. When I ask for something to get done, I don’t need a “Yes sir, I’m right on it.” I just want to hear them say, “OK Nook, we’ll get to it as soon as we can.” I earn respect because of a good attitude and I demand my techs maintain one.
