Aviator Sports
Floyd Bennet Airfield
Brooklyn, NY
No more than any other event, the hugely popular wrestling circuit also requires production. We were asked by World Premier Wrestling to provide sound, lighting and video recording and playback services for their inaugural event Aviator Sports in Brooklyn, NY. We used our 40' x 40' truss square to support our lighting (conventional and intelligent fixtures) and sound systems while LED fixtures on wireless DMX around the perimeter helped change the look and feel of the room. The entire event, including interviews with the stars, was captured on four HD cameras, two fixed and two mobile. Using a gib mounted camera for entrances on a specially constructed and lit stage, we were also able to provide dynamic footage to the fans. They will be equally delighted when they purchase the edited DVD directly from WPW of the entire night's action.
Recording and editing of such events using multiple High Definition cameras is the latest service that we are proud to offer and it has already proved to be hugely popular thus far. We can now provide experienced video crews with camera operators and a director of photography to record. We can also edit your video all additional information. Please feel free to email for further details. |

Midori & Friends

Our modular 8' x 4' staging can be configured in many different combinations, depending on your needs, budget and available space. This event in the Sony Plaza Public Arcade, was the 3rd Annual Children's Music Festival orchestrated by Midori & Friends. It featured multiple performances, the highlight of which was a choir of 45 children. Although the audience of approximately 300 was mainly seated, all performers were clearly seen as we provided a split level stage.
The lower section of the stage was 24'(W) x 8'(D) x 2'(H) and the upper section was 16" higher and measured 24'(H) x 4'(D) x 40"(H). |

Starfield: Resound '08
Rutgers University Livingston Campus
Livingston, NJ
When the organizers of first-time Christian rock concert "Resound '08" approached us about their event, we had to carefully guide them through the minefield that event production can be to the uninitiated! Their event, held in the gym of Rutgers' University Livingston Campus, featured Christian rock band "Starfield" and required staging technology (carefully set-up so as not to damage the gym floor), sound, lighting, backline and of course crew. Our recommendation was that we also supply a 600A generator to power this production. The lighting system consisted of over 40 moving, conventional and L.E.D. fixtures while the sound system was 20KW of our J60 5-way active F.O.H. system and Sennheiser wireless in ear monitors.
Here is a portion of the opening song, as recorded by one enthuastic fan:

School Musical
Louis Pasteur M.S. 67
Little Neck, NY
Our philosophy with all events is that those who are seated (or standing) in the back rows should be able to hear the performance almost as well as those in the front rows. To this end, our sound design for these events has been to distribute the amplified sound as evenly as possible. School musicals should also be given a similar treatment. To further enhance the audio performance, we also utilize the latest in wireless head-worn microphone (as seen in most Broadway Theaters) technology from leading manufacturers Sennheiser and Countryman, to ensure that the principals can be heard no matter which way their head may be turned! Pictured here is one of our systems in the M.S. 27 auditorium for their annual school musical. |

Jagjit Singh

Much renowned and respected throughout the worldwide Indian and Asian communities, Jagjit Singh is a very soft spoken performer so our challenge on this particular event was to provide a suitable audio system to effectively reinforce the mix of acoustic ethnic instruments and vocal performance.
