With 7 days until HighBall Halloween, pagetech limited and TechArt Productions are working hard finalizing details.

“It takes months of preparation for an event of this size,” explains Dan Brightfellar, TechArt Sales Representative. “There are lots of individual pieces that have to all work together like a tinker-toy.”

The production process starts with the overall event concept. The vision. The experience. From street layout, stage placement, food vendor placement, trash dumpsters, porta-johns, beverage tents, gates and all the rest, the specifics of the event are taken into consideration. Then the team of designers from pagetech and TechArt merge all the ideas and prepare a final layout design based on functionality and execution.

“The challenge is always trying to bring everyone’s great ideas together to make it all fit within budget.” says Jeremy Andrews, TechArt Production Manager.

The designers then give Jeremy the specs so he can devise a plan of implementation to delegate to the leads of each department. For HighBall, the Lighting team will build 4 struts for the stage plus lighting throughout the event. The Video team will construct four large screens; two on stage and one at each end of High Street at the gates. The Sound team will set up three full speaker systems to create an enclosed sound zone as if the audience is stepping into an outdoor nightclub. The Stage and Rigging team will construct an 80 ft runway with a frame built on all four sides that is 25 feet high.

Jeremy says, “I don’t really think people know the amount of time this all takes, but our philosophy is always Make It Happen.”
The day of the event a crew of 20-25 people will start at 6am and will have everything set up by 4pm.  “The entire production process is very exciting because it takes the vision and brings it to life.  We look forward to giving the crowd a genuine ‘WOW’ moment.”  Jeremy concludes.
