Description
To provide production for The Learning Channels TV show Miami Ink party at 1001 Woodward Ave. downtown Detroit. The party was on the 20th floor. and was split into two rooms. One room was the bar and a DJ and the other was the main stage with George Clinton.We had many challenges at this event the first was that it was on the 20th floor of a downtown high-rise so there was just getting into the venue and getting all our gear to the floor via a freight elevator. We couldn't fly our speakers in this room because of fire proofing on the beams and we needed to get our speakers in the air. On our setup day they were video taping an episode in the space so we had to work around there schedule
Technology
We decided to get down there a day early and set-up so we could get our 24' truck into Detroit easier and get into the loading dock without having to compete for it with other vendors. This made the whole processor easier there was no scheduling conflicts on our part which made the producers job easier. We decided to bring some staging down to act as sound wings so it would give our PA additional height. We had to provide both rooms with PA so we had two separate systems that were tied together so when the DJ was playing we could pump it into the other room and vise versa when George Clinton took the stage. We also, like we do at all jobs, was to go out of our way to make the clients job a happy and easy one even if it means fixing another vendors problem.
Client Testimonial
A very successful event with a very happy client. The turn out was good with the Black Eye Peas turning out to see George. The client appreciated our 110% and said they would be calling us again.
