OVERVIEW

 

Follow Spotting has long been seen as an entry level position and not much attention has been paid to it. In this two hour seminar Gerda and Philip Kruger intend changing your perceptions by showing that Follow Spotting is an art and what it can add to any show. They will demonstrate the difference a trained Follow Spotter can make and share some of their training methods.

 

They will also highlight how Follow Spotting is helping young people to gain entry into the entertainment industry through a skills development and empowerment initiative run jointly by Philip Kruger Consulting and Women in Technical Production (WiTP).

 

  The basic theory of the Follow Spotter Training will be covered and the art of perfect pick-ups demonstrated by students who have undergone the training.

 

If you think you can follow spot, come and test your follow spotting skills against trained Follow Spotters and take the opportunity to get your hands on a Robert Juliat follow spot.
