Why Live Production?

As I’m sure Bill O’Reilly or Mariah Carey would agree, doing it live can be stressful. We can avoid the meltdown he experienced by clearly communicating expectations about every cue. Live event sound comes with many challenges, some of which are impromptu performers and presenters, bad speaking habits, and sudden increases in vocal volume. Live video also has a unique set of challenges that we understand well, such as tight transitions, nailing lighting cues, mixed-signal flow, and last minute content additions.

Repertoire has produced over 1,000 live streamed or broadcast live production projects including over 25 TEDx events, launching EA’s Battlefield 3 and 4, running simultaneously broadcast stages for CBS at E3, dozens of high profile tech launches, and a very highly produced live stream to wish mom a happy birthday. Thanks, Mom!

Next Level Event Vectorworks CAD Drawings

Drawing an event in 3D VectorWorks has a plethora of benefits. First of all, we’re able to design the event with the industry standard audio visual and lighting equipment, in the exact location we have available to set it in.

For example, an industry standard light is the Leko Source 4. We can actually 3D model the CEO and light them with the industry standard lights in the position available in the venue. This is cool from a visualization perspective as well as practical from design to fabrication perspective.

Sometimes venues have their little quirks. That’s why we 3D model the entire building with the existing architecture intact, we can perfectly measure sound, lighting and audio levels, throws and angles, so there are no surprises on set.

Don’t Take Chances, Hire a Proven Team

When you pay for experience, essentially you’re getting a team that’s already made the mistakes that learning the live production world offers, on someone else’s shows. Years ago… What makes Repertoire especially awesome is our constant access to gear and a runner for emergency warehouse runs. We’ve seen cables get torn, monitors broken, and lenses are forgotten. None of these issues prevented us from doing a live show, because it must happen. The intensity of live and the imperative snowballing of content and progression is part of why a live event and production is so interesting to witness.

Movies are perfectly edited and musical recordings properly balanced. In a live production, we feel, see, and hear every nuance and irregularity. Perfection is the goal, but reality throws curve balls every time. You have got to think on your feet. Repertoire thinks on its feet all around the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We have done live productions in all the major venues and for most of the major businesses. They trust us, and so should you. Reach out to us today.

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 and live production, “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.
