Production Services

At DDE we have the experience, skills and equipment to ensure that whatever size event or show you are planning we can provide you with the perfect production services to ensure your event has the polish and finish it deserves.

LIGHTING

Lighting can enhance any event and can completely transform a room. We can provide anything from a single spot to a complete intelligent rig with lighting structures, dimming and control.

We have recently invested in a huge amount of LED lighting, which has the advantage of being able to provide any colour from a single light with very little power consumed or heat given off.

Why not speak to us to talk about any of the following…

• Room Lighting
  Transform blank empty walls into areas of beautiful colour. Use our full range colour picker to ensure the lighting matches your theming or chosen colour scheme.
   
• Podium or Presentation Lighting
  Ensure your speaker or presenters can be seen in all their glory. Why not have your company logo projected onto the floors or walls.
   
• Band or Gig Lighting
  Enhance any gig or performance with a lighting rig. With countless number of effects to choose from and endless possibilities of combinations of colours and chases, we can give your gig that real “big stage” feel.
   
• Disco or Dance Floor Lighting
  Add a lighting rig to your DJ setup and turn an empty dance floor into a full blown nightclub.
   
• Theatre Lighting
  With a huge amount of experience in theatre, we can provide lighting rigs that complement and enhance your performance and take nothing away from the direction or choreography. Whether it is a play, dance show, or musical we can design the perfect rig for you space and needs.

SOUND

We all know how important it is to ensure you have the right sound setup. A presentation or conference is pointless if those speaking can’t be heard, and ensuring a room has the correct type and amount of PA isn’t easy, but its something we specialise in. We have a complete selection of PA systems to cover any shape or size of rooms, and any type of event, from a single presenter onstage to a full musical production with orchestra. We also have a full range of wired and wireless microphones for bands, presentations, ambient room mics, for any setup you could imagine.

We can provide Sound packages to match your needs, and each system is tailored to your requirements…

• Conference & Awards
  With a system that focuses on clear speech production at every part of the room, with a combination of wireless lapel and hand held microphones and fixed podium microphones we’ll have your corporate function covered.
   
• DJ / Nightclub
  With the emphasis on strong recorded music production, this system can pack a punch and keep your guests dancing till the early hours. We can provide a full system including CD or Vinyl decks and DJ mixers.
   
• Band
  A perfect system for function or live bands with a strong live music emphasis that’s designed to give great vocal reproduction. Included will be a full mic and stand setup to match your needs, and a monitor system that can be mixed out front by one engineer or a separate monitor engineer at the side of stage.
   
• Theatre
  With the emphasis on strong vocals and speech production, using wireless discreet mics, this is the perfect setup for plays, musicals or operas, and can incorporate elements for either a live band/orchestra or stereo/multi-track playback via our dedicated computer playback system and desk remotes.

VIDEO

It seems like nearly every conference or event is now accompanied with presentations or video displays and we can ensure your event is no different. We carry a number of screens in various sizes with front or rear projection surfaces, in either square or widescreen ratio.

We can also provide a custom screen service, were you could project onto any shape or size you desire. We carry a range of standard and HD projectors and vision switchers/mixers and can project from any source you wish, whether that be a single laptop on stage or from a control position, to multiple laptops placed around the room.

We can also ensure every guest can see what’s happening with live camera feeds and image magnification. 

• Surfaces
  We can provide both front and rear projection, white and grey surfaces, in either 4:3 or 16:9 ratio, and with a ‘fastfold’, truss, or custom frame.
   
• Projectors
  From small office use desktop projectors to ultra bright exterior projector and everything in-between we have it covered. Our entire projector range can take either standard or high definition inputs from cameras, computers, and now even ipads and tablets.
   
• Plasma and LCD Screens
  With screens in any size, we can ensure your message gets to every part of the room. With splitters and switchers we can have multiple screens show an individual image or the same image on every screen.
   
• Production Services / Recording & Editing
  We have the skills and technology to produce your recorded video message. Our production services can include just providing the video equipment through to providing the production crew to plan, shoot and edit your video. With the combination of graphics, animation and flash production we will produce a finished video that delivers your message loud and clear.
   
• Live Event Streaming
  Live streaming gives you the opportunity to broadcast an event in real time to an audience over the internet. We can provide a single fixed camera to a full multiple camera shoot and crew. This can be used for business or corporate functions, as well as educational or personal events such as broadcast your wedding to those who can’t be their in person. Using our secure online system we will ensure your broadcast only reaches those you wish.

STAGING / PROPS

At DDE we have an excellent stage/set design service. Using our selection of deck in various shapes and sizes, with legs in various heights, we can provide you with a stage that suits your needs and space. We have provided single pieces of deck for awards presentations to multi level structures with staircases and ramps.

But stage design isn’t just about the floor you stand on, but the area around you. We can provide flats and scenery that matches the styling of your room and theming, and can incorporate lighting directly into it.

We have an excellent large-scalescreen-printing service and we have used this in the past to create backdrops, masking, or screen surrounds with your company logo or design printed directly onto it. When it comes to stage design we are only limited by your imagination, and the bigger you think the more we can provide.
