Rotating LED PAR-Kit

Posted on by Stephanie Bradshaw

The Rotating LED PAR-Kit was made to be an easy way for anyone to add interest to their party or event with a simple set up. The first items in the kit are 2 Rotating LED PARs . These small lights have an out put of 56W giving punchy colours in low light venues. Also included are a  6′ and a 25′ power cable giving more freedom with the placement of your lights, as it allows you more length to move from your power source. In addition we added a  32′ DMX cable witch will allow you to separate the lights up to 32′ apart but still have the lights in synch.  Now all of this may sound complicated or out of your skill set, but its NOT as we have made a easy do it yourself video to show you how.

With this short video we will show you step-by-step to putting together this kit so you can be confident and stress free for your event or party.

Posted on by Stephanie Bradshaw

 Creating a good event can be tricky when your unsure of whats out there. The confusing language and abundance of options can be overwhelming for anyone  not in the industry.  On top of it all trying to get the right feel or atmosphere to your venue is the most difficult but the most important part to any good event. These 5 basic must haves can open your mind to the options and will take your party, corporate gathering, or wedding, to the next level.

1 – DELUXE LED PARS

There many different lighting options for any event but LED PAR‘s made my list because of its versatility.  LED PARs are a narrow, powerful light that have a wide rang of different colours. These lights are great for creating a dramatic back drop of a stage, wall, or pillar but can also be a cheep substitute for any small stage lighting. In edition to just a solid colour you can have it on auto control mode that slowly changes colours and can even have it go to the beat of the music.  This means MORE options, LESS equipment and MORE money in your pocket.

2 – Wall Washers

 Similar to the LED PAR lights the wall washer has the same versatility in colour and function. Unlike the LED PARs wall washers have a longer and softer beam, mainly used for atmospheric lighting.  When trying to create a glow of colour up the wall or bar table its a great way to turn a plain dull hall or event room to the party atmosphere you want.  We rent these lights, but they are also ON SALE for a limited time for purchase.

3 – G3 Wireless Lav

Lighting isn’t everything that an event needs, even if its small speeches at a wedding or a presentation, you will need a way to speak to your guests. The G3 Wireless Lav is a great and simple way to do just that. This is a small clip on wireless mic that allows you to move freely in your space and no working about cables (FREEDOM) but every event is different and have different needs. This is a good mic for any one that will be speaking for longer periods of time not so much for quick and easy exchanges from one seeker to another.  However this mic has a great sound quality and will work well for any presentation or MP at a wedding.

4 – Laser Lights

There are a few different kind of lasers but the most versatile would be the High Power Animation Laser. This high powered laser has hundreds of  different preset animations making it very easy to turn on and have a lighting show –perfect for the inexperienced.Also with just a little more effort it has so many ways for you to refine the animations to get exactly what your looking for.  Your typical laser will usually only come in red and green the Animation Laser has and additional white and blue light just giving the most options as possible, making it a great entertaining peace to add to your next event.

5 – Fog Machines

Fog machines and lasers go to gather like cookies and milk, you can’t have one with out the other, so fog Machines made the list. An easy way to elevate your lasers from a simple/kinda cool basic light show to an amazing moody atmosphere and we all know that is all about the atmosphere.

If you are planning on renting one for your next event it may trigger more sensitive smoke alarms, so be sure to talk to your venue about it before hand.

The Next Level for Escape Rooms

Posted on by Big City

Escape Rooms are a relatively new game that started popping up in North America in 2014.

Originally started in Japan, Escape room is a physical game where players have to find clues,
solve puzzles and interacted with there surroundings to try and “escape” the room. Rooms
usually have themes like diamond heist or prison break and for the more thrill
seekers theres rooms like “Pandemic” where the players have to prevent the virus from
getting out.

Now if you found all that to be thrilling and exciting, Michael Counts in
New York took it one step further.  Paradiso: Chapter 1 is his take on the escape room,
incorporating the elements of live theatre.  To create Michael Counts vision a reality
he hired a full professional crew, some of witch are, lighting designer Ryan O’Gara from
Hamilton video, special effects wizard Caleb Sharp from “The Walking Dead Experience”
and set designer Katie Fleming of “Sleep No More.” These talented creators made an
adventure at a theatrical level with doors showing shadows of strange figures, screens
flashing messages, holographic helicopters and corpses split in half. Real actors are
even involved to make this experience truly epic. This new game made a big impression
and docent seem to be slowing down.

Could you imagine in the future, your able to pay for an experience, instead of watching
the movie, you pay to be in the movie. Can you imagine playing Rick in “The Walking Dead” or Ethan Hunt from “Mission Impossible.” What experience would you pay to be in?

I know one thing for sure I’m excited for the future.
