@sssssss13 God I wish. Actors can be really dumb sometimes when it comes to finding their spotlight.

devs30757y@poster983 I used to direct lights as well, and you are correct; actors are the worst. I really don't see how hard it can be to find that neon coloured X on the floor

Rethought787y@devs I've been acting for a few years in school and my freetime. Nothing professional but I got told I'm very good (for the age I was at that time etc.).
Well anyway, the point is that while you are acting you sometimes get so much into your role that it's hard to get everything right in your field of view. Getting into a role is literally like being another person and that can go as far as forgeting you wanted to look at the damn neon colored X on the ground. Or rather it feels like out of your role to do so.
What helps is itereation though, after playing the role a few times and training to be in the spotlight it becomes easier to do these things automatically without thinking about it. Much like learning programming I guess. -
devs30757y@Rethought I completely understand. But when programming the lights, it's just so frustrating since the task at first seams so simple :)
A different kind of programing...
