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.

@aurorahealthcare wanted to create a video showcas @aurorahealthcare wanted to create a video showcasing the state-of-the-art care facilities at Aurora Sinai Medical Center, it’s community partners, and the programs they offer to people in downtown Milwaukee, many who lack access to care. It features how the spirit of the Aurora teammates feeling connected to one another, living the purpose and mission, working in sync to make sure they’re all driving towards the same goal to help people meet their health care needs.

The story is told by Dr. Iroegbu, President of Aurora Sinai Medical Center & Aurora St. Luke’s South Shore through an interview we recorded on location. The powerful, yet straightforward story is elevated by combining beautiful b-roll footage, graphics and soundtrack. Tri-Marq is proud to have created this compelling and informative video to promote Aurora’s commitment to the Milwaukee community.

Tri-Marq conducted three days on location recording interviews and b-roll footage, in multiple locations. In addition, Tri-Marq handled project management, creative design, on-site production, editing, sound/audio design, color correction, and script writing.

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.
