Aside from being an event – whether it’s a concert, corporate event or a wedding – an occasion is also a performance. In front of a crowd, an artist performs his hit song, a company or two presents their latest innovation and a pair affirms their vows to one another.
Whether it’s a concert, corporate event or a wedding, an event should also be regarded as a performance where an an artist performs his hit song; a company or two presents their latest innovation; and a pair affirms their vows to one another, in front of an audience.
But, beyond these real performances there are two other things that play a role to heighten emotions, dictate the mood and moreover, set the pace of the unfolding of events – lights and sound systems. As a brand that specializes in lights and sounds system rental, Red Damien can add value to your event by delivering high-quality sounds and lights rental for all occasions.
Now, if you’re considering your options in a lights and sounds rental, here are the 5 factors that will guide you through your decision making and finding the ideal rental provider.
1. Lighting
Each event is different and so does its requirements for the lighting. But, how do you determine the proper lighting for such diverse occasions? Here are a few event lighting fundamentals to take note of:
- Adequate Lighting – Lighting needs will differ based on whether it will be held indoors or outdoors. But, as a rule of thumb, make sure to run a lighting test prior to the event, determining how you will navigate through different lighting conditions for the day.
- Lighting Arrangements and Control – For most events, lighting shouldn’t stay static. You’ll want to have control over brightness and as well as the way light spills so you can set the desired mood for the event. You can best achieve this by working with a stage and lighting rental provider.
- Lighting for Filmed Events – If the event is going to be filmed, you will need to position the lighting where it’ll not shine towards the camera. Likewise, the venue should be fully lit to eliminate any shadows and ensure the camera will not come across a dark area.
- Other Equipment – Finally, you will also have to take into consideration the other equipment that will be used for the event. If it uses a series of projects, a well diffused, dim lighting may be necessary. On the contrary, if it is featuring a band, you may require a special effects lighting.
The most crucial part of setting up the proper lighting is determining how the light will spill into space. But, consulting a professional will help you decide which lighting setup will work best for you.
2. Sound Systems
Similar to lighting requirements, there is also a wide range of sound systems available – and your decision on which one to hire will come down to your budget, number of guests, as well as the feel you are trying to create. If you are on a restricted budget, Red Damien has a wide selection of systems available that are no way limited in quality but are reasonably priced to rent. These vary in size and specifications to match every type of application including:
- Announcements – A sound system intended to convey information is carefully designed and installed to match the needs of each event.
- Background Music – A sound system will also be used for background music that will be played to enhance the environment.
- Live Events – In a live event, a sound system often requires a team of sound engineers to operate a mixing gear to produce live and unique sound effects.
3. Stage
In addition to lights and sounds, a stage is also a necessity – and in most cases, a light and audio provider will also have a stage equipment and lighting trusses available for hire. This setup eliminates the guesswork often associated with it as the provider already has an experience on how to secure and position the lights and sound equipment so they will not get in the way of the stage design. Trust Red Damien to give you the best stage solutions to help you upgrade the overall aesthetics of your event.
