Rigging / Truss

 

Rigging - Your normal DJ/Band will set up their sound and lighting on trees (tripods) and stack the speakers, there is no need to rig anything. However at Creative BackStage we like to get a little wild, and most of the time we have to rig the lighting, sound, video, and possibly other equipment to the ceiling or off super lifts. This may sound like alot of work, or cost a lot of money, but the truth is, it is easy to do (only let professionals rig, do not attempt this yourself) and does not cost that much extra for the rigging equipment. When custom designing an event, we look at if we can fly in the room, this gives us a lot of freedom to come up with unique ways for the setup of the event. If we can not rig then we would use super lifts like in the above picture of MT View Prom 04.

Now most resorts you must use the in house rigging company, and these guys charge alot of money, so at times we can use towers and ground support the equipment to get around the extra resort charges.

At Creative BackStage, we will talk to you about design layouts and rigging vs ground support. Remember that every event is difference, and where one thing may work at one place it may not work at another.

Also most school gyms are fine to fly in, we would be glad to talk to the school about the details.

Truss - Truss is aluminum made into sticks that can be flown to hang equipment off of and can be used to design into different shapes. Truss also adds another layer onto the look and feel of the event..
