Immersive Audio Visual Staging
Repertoire is a full-service audio visual staging & AV production company serving the San Francisco Bay Area all AV production services and needs. We provide immersive AV solutions for parties, events, and productions as well as projection mapping, video production, multi-camera broadcast, live streaming, webcasting, and video conferencing. You name it, we’ve done it. We’re the San Francisco Audio Visual Staging & AV Production Company.
Immersive Technology & Stage Design
We take pride in being a ragtag team of socialites, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and engineers. As an immersive audio visual and staging company, our goal has always been to combine technology, entertainment, and design. Appropriately, we’ve now sponsored the audio visual, film/video production and stage management and design for over 25 TEDx events in the Bay Area.
We accept the challenge of producing TEDx events because we love designing shows and having the ability to take creative risks. For us, this is what we call, Repertoire Labs – Technology, Engineering, Event Design. Our event philosophy is inspired our almost decade of involvement with TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. We’d like to think that having produced the first ever independent TED events, TEDxSF, we might have had an influence on TED too.
Not just a Staging Company
Creative pre-visualization of stage design is key to coordinating teams on big projects. Your event needs to look and sound better than previous events, and stay fresh with modern expectations. At Repertoire, we use 3D design software to create CAD stage renderings so you can understand exactly what the event entails. On a recent event at SFJazz, we custom fabricated more than 20 different stage pieces and installed crisp clean carpeting on the venues unique stage configuration.
We also hunted down the best sources for printed banners, and our creative director personally examined test materials to select the best type for the event. These methodical and detail oriented steps are part of good design, and the remaining part is having an in-depth understanding of real production techniques. While developing a vision for the stage, we can virtually build the stage using common materials and create a shopping list right from the design. This saves the client time and money and makes everyone look like a hero on set.
Hire a Production Company, not the Hotel AV
In general, Audio Visual Production companies are positioned to offer better service, more qualified crews, better event design, and of course, higher-end equipment. When hiring an AV production company, the budget allocated to your crew actually goes to the crew. Because we don’t have to give 50% of your budget to the hotel, we can either do the same service for about half the price or increase the service level to double.
Better crew, better gear, better selection, better service. Repertoire’s crews are available for higher quality pre-production, service, production, and post-production. AV staging and production companies generally bring in the staging and audiovisual equipment that you need, and don’t try to sell you something, “in house.” As a competitive production company, we always have a much more experienced crew and better gear than a Hotel AV company.
A Touching Moment Inspired by Event Design
Repertoire recently worked with a client that wanted to bring their annual keynote conference to the next level. The year previous, this client worked with the in house hotel AV team. The CEO literally said, that last year’s PA system, “looked like something at my son’s Bar Mitzvah.” We designed a color adjustable backlit stage for this client with about 10 rounds of edits.
The PA was fit for a king. When the CEO walked into the room with his wife, they saw the set and gave each other a hug. We realize how important it is to impress your audience and bring value to our clients. Our clients pay our bills, and it’s really touching for us that we could design and build an event for them that brought them such relief, and joy. Needless to say, we’ll be collaborating again next year with the goal of upping the game even more.
