Case study.

Case study: George and Patrick of Video Company are shooting a Labatt’s commercial in Edmonton. Traditionally, Patrick and George have two options for lighting. Option 1: call a local rental house, rent the equipment, fly out a day early to pick up the gear, stay an extra day to return it. All of this costs two extra days for hotels and van rentals. Option 2: pack up a very limited lighting kit, load it into a taxi, get to the airport, check the cases into oversize and pay the overage fees. Upon arrival, George and Patrick wait around for the oversized cases to come out, load up a few carts and pack it all into a rental vehicle. They spend the rest of the week digging around in a pile of cases in the back of a mini van trying to find the case they’re looking for. Instead, Patrick and George call Dan.  He shows up at their first location with a van full of sound and lighting gear.  It really doesn’t get easier than that. 

More than sound.

Think of me as the “Easy Button”. I have a stellar reputation for sound and now a great lighting package is included. Just book me and everything shows up at your first location. Easy!
