Events will often employ special effects and dynamic lights that can move, strobe, change colour or project images during the performance. Certainly the lights will fade and change to augment the impact of a scene, speaker, or song. These changes are controlled by a computerized lighting console that must be programmed in a manner consistent with the lighting design and the wishes of the lighting designer. A bad programmer can bring pre-production/production to a grinding halt; a good one can help the designer to achieve spectacular visual effects.
