Beyond the Screen & Stage | Event Media Production: Episode 2 – Openers

January 22, 2024  by Alaina Salas

Next up in our series, we’re featuring event video openers. Start your meeting with a ‘bang’ by incorporating cinematic videos, motion graphics, or even sensory-based experiences like bubbles, falling water, or projection mapping! Opener videos set the tone for the meeting and grab the audience’s attention. 

Historical Style – WI Hist Soc – Now is Our Time: Taking a historical approach to event openers, In 2010, Tri-Marq was hired by the Wisconsin Historical Society as their Show Producer for the “This is Our History. Now is Our Time” capital campaign gala, held at the Monona Terrace in Madison, Wisconsin. The same gala was held in 2011 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at The Pfister Hotel.

Tri-Marq created a series of videos telling the story of the Wisconsin Historical Society. The first of these videos is the anthem video that kicked off the gala. Throughout the evening, guests were taken on a visual journey of the state’s history. 

To create the video, we interviewed educators and historians including John Gurda, Wisconsin’s premier historian. Through these interviews and b-roll footage of archives held at the Historical Society, the story weaves through all the important work the Wisconsin Historical Society does for the state.

Anthem Style – RedPrairie Commerce in Motion: Continuing our epic openers feature, we’re throwing it back to 2012 when we took on this project for RedPrairie featuring projection mapping, 3D animation, 130-foot screen and more! At the time of the event, RedPrairie was the second largest logistical software company in the US. 

For this event, Tri-Marq mesmerized the audience with a 130-foot screen creating a seamless palette by blending 6 HD projectors to display 4.5 million pixels. Speakers made their stage entrance through custom hidden doors in the screen. We also used video projection mapping to wrap 3D imagery on custom set structures while 3D animation filled the panoramic wide screen, creating an immersive visual experience.

Tri-Marq managed 110 breakout sessions, three super sessions, transformed the ballroom for evening entertainment, and supported a 35,000-square-foot trade show. 

Unique Stage Design – API Better Together: Our third and final installment of the openers category features ‘Better Together.’ This video opened the API Healthcare Annual Client Forum and takes a fun spin on the merging of API Healthcare and GE Healthcare. 

Tri-Marq’s work on the 2014 Client Forum for API Healthcare, a division of GE Healthcare employed a five-screen approach for the event, held in Milwaukee. Tri-Marq directed multiple general sessions, breakouts, and an awards show for API. Two additional videos were created, including one to launch a new product for the company. 

Stay tuned for next week’s feature to see our work with custom graphics for events.

Tri-Marq was proud to once again produce the 11th Tri-Marq was proud to once again produce the 11th annual Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce (GMCC) Icebreaker event at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin. The stage setup featured a color-changing Titan Tube backdrop that complimented the Chamber’s EUREKA branding with hidden exclamation points.

The event hosted over 800 business and community leaders and featured keynote speakers speakers from companies around Wisconsin. 

In addition to handling all pre-production, CAD renderings, and stage and lighting design, the Tri-Marq event team was on-site managing all run-of-show duties.

Our client, First Advantage, took their annual 'Co Our client, First Advantage, took their annual 'Collaborate' conference to sunny Miami, Florida🌴☀️ at the Fontainebleau hotel. Tri-Marq produced this Event Recap video that aired at the end of the conference. Video production included an on-site crew to record footage and edit immediately.

It was a busy week! Attendees got to hear from keynote speaker and award-winning NYT author, Jeremy Gutsche, connect in interactive breakout sessions, and enjoy performances from local dance troupes and a percussion group.

As full-service Show Producers, we think about the overall meeting experience, so Tri-Marq incorporated the brand wherever possible, including designing the company logo out of Titan Tube lighting as a stage backdrop. Tri-Marq also handled all pre-production planning, CAD renderings, site visits, management of run-of-show, speaker rehearsals, and more.

Our client, the Association of High Technology Dis Our client, the Association of High Technology Distribution (AHTD), wanted to create a high-level promotion to recruit new members. Rather than deal with the hassle of scheduling multiple location shoots (which can become cost-prohibitive) to record interviews, AHTD took advantage of the time when all their members were in one place — the AHTD fall conference! In Fall 2024, Tri-Marq’s crew went to Washington to interview 11 AHTD members and compile footage for two videos promoting membership in the Association. In addition to filming interviews, we also produced the event. The four-day conference featured keynote speakers, group breakouts, and a tradeshow-style project showcase.

Last month, our client, The Association of Equipme Last month, our client, The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) hosted “World of Asphalt” in St. Louis, Missouri. As the leading asphalt trade show, the conference attracts industry manufacturers and service providers to showcase their latest products. 

Tri-Marq was on-site at the event capturing video, drone footage, and attendee and exhibitor testimonials for client use. To recap the event, we edited the footage to create this post-conference video. To see the video in action, visit the World of Asphalt webpage.
