The 8/6/15 Production presentation
Here are some links to videos that show some of the setup in action. These are time lapses and go by very quickly!
Glacier peak shows our standard single sided event and also shows the pits. This highlight reel will give you a good peek at lots of images of this event.

The Shorewood event is a difficult venue for us because the space is really tight in terms of pit space. As a double sided event, we put the AV equipment on a single end. It worked OK in terms of appearance, we had a lot of issues with audio levels by having the speakers on one end of the field. We also had feed back issues because the speakers pointed at the field.

Our Auburn Mountainview event is a double sided event. We put both screens on one end of the field. Speakers were done in our standard face the audience format. This video doesn't show the screens very often. It is an example of where we used the side skew functions of our projection equipment.
