PBS News Hour

an EventEQ Production

Client: Acer Exhibits for Department of Energy  

Scenic Design: Alan Randall

Creative Direction: Dawn Prater & Tom Kemp

Lighting Design: Eric Grims

Scope: Provided client, sales, technical, and logistical management for all Audio, Video, and Lighting elements of production.  This included coordinating with internal departments, sub contractors, and the venue.  The competition composed of a 4 HD Camera shoot, 8 show laptops, an x20 spyder switching system, 12 LCD's for delay, contestant and judges monitors, 12K HD Projectors.  Over 40 LEDs and 40 conventionals were used to light the set and stage for IMAG capture and record. 

Hardest Challenge: Aside from a new client, new production, the complexity of video routing and game show components, this was not going to be that bad.  Until our load in time frame was reduced to 12 hours before start of show at 8AM.  With a hard working crew, exceptional pre-production planning, and plenty of coffee, we pulled it off, exceeding the clients expectations.
