Everyone was there...Were You?
Active Production and Design, Inc. celebrated 15 years of audio visual excellence with partners and clients.

Active On The Edge 
New Website is Launched at Active's 15 Year Anniversary Celebration
Not only was Active celebrating 15 Years of Audio Visual Excellence, but also the launch of our newly redesigned website. We know that everyone recognizes the the famous black and white Active atom, so we dare not change that! We did, however, shock the world by adding a dash of color to our repertoire. After all these years, (and many, many meetings with Matt), Active is embracing our renewed passion for the event industry. And the color we thought best to signify this...(drum role please)... "Purple Passion" of course! (Notice all the subtle hints of purple through out the newsletter ;-) "Our new look is fun and exciting. It represents what the future of events and our role is all about, imaginative ideas that are constantly changing." -Clydette R. Morton, PR/Marketing Director.

Active On The Edge
 
Recently, Active added the CAT 5 Distribution system to our audio visual inventory. This system enables us to deliver an even higher quality data transmission creating an impressive video image and audio signal . "The K-500 TDC receiver has the ability to take a single video and L/R summed audio input and pass those signals to a pair of outputs, and allows users to daisy-chain twin-display receivers (up to 12 receivers can be linked). Utilizing the K-500 TDC receivers saves space, installation time and capital expense."

Survey Says....Lighting 101 is a big hit!
Active held the 1st class of it's 101 series back in June. According to our follow up survey, Lighting 101 was huge success!
Sr. Account Executive, Jason Shadix, and Matt Clouser, President used a "tag team" teaching method to give the 56 attendees an informal crash course in basic lighting. Attendees ranged from very experienced veteran meeting planners to coordinators that are new to the industry. During three different sessions held throughout the day. Jason and Matt answered various questions about lighting, from the GREEN benefits of using LED lights, to "What does color wash mean?". According to the survey responses, when asked "How likely are you to recommend future 101 sessions to a friend or colleague?", 80% of respondents said they were 'Very Likely' to recommend future 101 sessions. Overall, attendees gave the session subject matter and the instructors an average of 4.2 out of 5 score. "We're using Active for an event we have next week because we were so impressed with Jason and Matt!", Dayanna L Robinson- Vision Event Designs. |
