Man Up

We did production for a Conference a couple weeks ago called "Man Up". For this conference we used a wide variety of services we have to offer. . . Here's a run down of all the technology we used for this event:

Sound

Biggest system we own... There was a different band on both nights so it required completely different stage gear (mics, drums, monitors, etc) between the two nights. Here's a general overview:
  • (4) JBL Tops
  • (2) Dual 18" JBL Subs
  • Wedges on the 1st Night
  • In Ears on the 2nd Night
  • Shure Wireless Handhelds
  • AKG Lapels
  • I could go on and on. . .
Lighting

We got lucky here and were able to patch in and use all of the "In House" lighting for Front/White lighting, which made it slightly easier on us but also made it look much better since the Centene Center has a lot to offer in this area. To make that happen we used a program called MyDMX and a Chauvet DMX Splitter. Here's what lighting we used of ours:

  • 6 LED Pars on Floor
  • 9 LED Pars on Truss
  • 2 LED Wash Panels on Floor
  • 2 LED Wash Panels on Truss
  • 1 LED Strip
  • MyDMX ran on an HP Laptop
Screens
  • (2) 7.5' x 10' Rear Project Screens
  • (2) 2000 Lumen Projectors on Rear Screens
  • (1) 3200 Lumen Projector on Backdrop Screen
  • Cat 5 to VGA Converters for Long Runs
We used a program called Easy Worship for Backgrounds/Lyrics on the Center Screen. Ran on a Sony Vaio.

Video

For this event we used 3 Camera Positions. We had live video on the outside screens and recorded that signal as well.
  • Sony PD150 Camera
  • Sony VX2000 Camera
  • Sony CX7 Camera
  • Sony XR11 Camera
  • Videonix MX1 Switcher
  • Recorded Video to Sony Vaio
  • S-Video to VGA for IMAG Screens
The recorded audio came from 2 sources:
  1. Recording Output of the House Mixer
  2. Crowd Mic's recorded to an iMac using Logic
  3. Post Production for Video/Audio was done using Adobe Premier CS5 and Pro Tools 9
Truss
  • 40' of 12" Box Truss
  • (2) 18' Crank Stands
