Sentence: "Determined to create a fantastic and effective video and have a great time doing it. Or your money back."

Paragraph: "Communication is the key to life- try not talking for a couple of days... Using imagery, light, words, sound and anything else we need - I love to mold elements into an illuminating message that impacts everyone watching. Why just produce a video when you can create an experience? And let's have FUN doing it."

 

Chris Murray, Technical Director

Sentence: "With preparation comes success"

Paragraph: "I believe the difference between a good Conference and a Great one is the preparation. There are always going to be surprises onsite, but with good pre-planning and organization, many disasters can be diverted well before arriving onsite. As Technical Director/Stage Manager, and in the business for over 25 years, I have learned that just showing up onsite without the proper preparation is a huge mistake. I spend several days coordinating equipment and Labor for each event, making diagrams to be sure everything fits, reviewing the agenda and cross referencing the equipment. This is why many of my clients comment on how calm I am onsite."

 

 

Larry Hartstein - Creative Director/Writer/Producer

Sentence: "I'm a renaissance man, a writer, composer, lyricist, concept person and producer which works out well when you can only afford one of the above."

Paragraph: "What excites me is finding entertaining ways to deliver the message. I've developed an eye for character and an ear for dialogue from being a staff writer for sitcoms like "Full House". I know how to write speeches that praise people's accomplishments without getting goopy from writing star-studded spectaculars like "Live Aid" and "The Golden Karma Awards". And I've created heart-stopping, tear-jerking, goosebump-making, laugh-til-you-hurt corporate shows for crowds from 200 to 20,000. The best projects are always collaborative ones, the ones where the client, who knows their product and service better than we do, participates in the production while letting the team of experts bring their own style and substance to the party."

Sentence: "When you love your job, it shows."

Paragraph: "My mission is to help host your guests, and to immortalize your hard work. This may take the form of carefully posed and lit couples photos, fast and efficient group or awards photos, or a custom gift that commemorates your time together. It really is the little things that make a big difference - like a smile, sharing a laugh, or lending a hand to help ladies up and down the stage stairs. As a former Event Producer, I understand the importance of creating a positive experience for the guests - while staying on-schedule and on-budget."
