Freelance Events Graphics Operator available now
A Graphics Operator is the person sitting behind the screen controls during your live or virtual event, making sure every slide and visual appears exactly when it should.
They are the person responsible for pressing the button at the perfect moment – keeping everything smooth, seamless and professional in front of your audience.
They may not have the design skills of a Graphics Designer, but they do have the technical talent to keep everything on track and running smoothly.
What They Do
Graphics Operators take all the presentation files and show assets and load them into playback software such as PowerPoint or Keynote. They’re responsible for making sure content is formatted correctly, tested, fonts loaded and everything is ready to go.
During the show, they follow the Showcaller’s cues, running slides and switching graphics in real time. If a presenter jumps a slide, they react instantly. If a client hands over a new file two minutes before showtime, they edit, fix and load it without breaking a sweat.
On busier shows, they may follow a script that has been marked up with specific slide cues. The point at which these slides appear on screen is often crucial to support what is being said, and cueing them at exactly the right time can be a bit of an art form.
Skills They Bring
- Technical precision – flawless slide and media playback
- Speed and focus – reacting instantly to live changes
- Attention to detail – checking every file, every font, every link, every version
- Calm under pressure – handling last-minute client requests
