Event AV Production in Northeast Ohio

Game Craze Community Production — Starting Around $2,495

Professional audio, video and event production for larger community, school, municipal and corporate events.

Starting around $2,495, Community Production is designed for organizations that need a professional event production setup without automatically moving into the size, complexity and expense of a major concert-production company.

Game Craze provides professional AV production throughout Akron, Canton, Cleveland and Northeast Ohio for parks and recreation departments, cities, schools, universities, churches, businesses, nonprofits, festivals and community organizations.

Community Production packages start around $2,495.

Professional Production Without Overproducing Your Event

There's a large gap between renting a couple of speakers and hiring a major concert-production company.

That's where Game Craze Community Production fits.

A city, school, church or company may tell us:

“We're expecting several hundred people. We have announcements, multiple speakers, music, presentations and entertainment throughout the day. We need professional sound, microphones, a screen and someone to run it.”

You don't necessarily need an arena-sized production.

You need the right production for your event.

Game Craze can combine professional audio, video, lighting and technical support into a production package sized for your audience and venue.

Professional Sound for Community & Large Events

Sound is the foundation of most live events.

Community Production includes a larger professional PA system configured around the event's requirements.

Professional sound can be used for:

Announcements • Presentations • Guest Speakers • Award Ceremonies • Background Music • Recorded Music • Videos • Introductions • Public Addresses • Entertainment • Sponsor Recognition

The correct sound system depends on more than the number of guests.

We consider the size and shape of the event area, indoor versus outdoor use, audience distribution, ambient noise and what you're putting through the sound system.

Four Microphones Included

Community Production includes four microphones, providing additional flexibility for events with multiple speakers.

They can be used for applications such as:

• Emcees
• Guest speakers
• Presenters
• Award ceremonies
• Panel discussions
• Public officials
• Event announcements
• Audience participation
• Interviews

Need more than four microphones? Additional microphone options can be incorporated into the production based on your program.

Professional Audio Mixer & Playback

Larger events often have multiple audio sources that need to work together.

Community Production includes a professional audio mixer and music/playback capabilities so your technician can manage microphones, presentation audio, music and other approved audio sources through the event sound system.

That makes the package especially useful for events with a scheduled program rather than a single speaker.

Event Lighting Included

Professional lighting can dramatically improve how an event looks and feels.

Community Production includes event lighting, with the configuration determined by the venue and event requirements.

Lighting can help:

• Highlight a speaking area
• Improve presenter visibility
• Create a more professional stage environment
• Add atmosphere to an indoor event
• Support evening programs
• Improve the overall appearance of the production

More extensive stage or event lighting can be added when required.

Video & Display Options

Sound may get everyone's attention, but video helps make sure the entire audience can see what's happening.

Community Production can be configured with a professional video or display solution based on the venue, audience and event.

Options include traditional projection as well as Game Craze's professional LED display systems.

Projection Screen

For indoor meetings, presentations and controlled-light environments, projection and screen systems can provide an economical way to display:

Presentations • Videos • Sponsor Logos • Photos • Awards • Slideshows • Event Information • Graphics

Projection works best when lighting and viewing conditions can be controlled.

For bright environments, outdoor daytime events and larger audiences, an LED display may be the better choice.

16' × 10' Indoor/Outdoor LED Video Wall

Need something bigger and brighter?

Upgrade your Community Production package with Game Craze's 16' × 10' modular LED video wall.

The LED wall is designed for indoor or outdoor use and can provide a high-impact display for larger audiences.

It's an excellent option for:

• Corporate events
• Community festivals
• School and university events
• Municipal events
• Presentations
• Award ceremonies
• Sponsor recognition
• Videos
• Live event content
• Outdoor programs

Multiple LED screen configurations may be available for events requiring additional viewing areas.

Mobile LED Trailer

For outdoor events, Game Craze also offers mobile LED screen trailers.

A trailer-mounted LED screen can be an excellent choice when your event requires a large, bright outdoor display without building a traditional projection environment.

Mobile LED screens are particularly useful for:

Festivals • Parks Events • Community Celebrations • Campus Events • Corporate Events • Outdoor Presentations • Public Gatherings • Watch Parties

Tell us about your event and we'll help determine whether projection, our modular LED video wall or a mobile LED trailer is the best solution.

AV Production for Parks & Recreation Departments

Game Craze Community Production is designed with parks and recreation departments in mind.

Municipal events often combine multiple activities throughout the day and require a flexible sound and video system.

Community Production can support:

• Community festivals
• Summer programs
• Park events
• Holiday celebrations
• Public ceremonies
• Community days
• Outdoor presentations
• Movies and entertainment events
• Award programs
• Family events
• Seasonal celebrations

Game Craze can also combine AV production with other event entertainment and equipment, allowing departments to simplify vendor coordination.

Municipal & City Event Production

Cities and municipalities often need professional AV for events that fall somewhere between a small public meeting and a major concert.

Community Production can support:

• City celebrations
• Public ceremonies
• Groundbreakings
• Dedications
• Community festivals
• Public presentations
• Mayor or official addresses
• Award ceremonies
• Holiday events
• Community announcements
• Public information programs

With professional microphones, PA systems, playback, lighting, video options and technical support available from one company, municipalities can build a production around the actual needs of the event.

School & University Event Production

Schools and universities host many events where existing classroom or gymnasium AV simply isn't enough.

Game Craze provides school and university AV production throughout Northeast Ohio for:

• School assemblies
• Awards programs
• Graduation-related events
• Field days
• Back-to-school events
• Fundraisers
• Parent events
• Guest speakers
• Campus programs
• Student-life events
• Orientation
• Homecoming events
• Greek life programs
• Alumni events
• Outdoor campus events

For larger campus audiences, Community Production can be paired with an LED video wall or mobile LED trailer.

Corporate Event Production

Community Production can also be configured for professional corporate programs.

Ideal applications include:

• Employee appreciation events
• Company picnics
• Corporate presentations
• Awards ceremonies
• Company meetings
• Product presentations
• Training events
• Outdoor corporate gatherings
• Employee celebrations
• Conferences
• Sponsor events
• Community outreach programs

Professional sound, microphones, video and lighting help transform an ordinary event space into a more polished production environment.

Church & Nonprofit Event Production

Churches and nonprofit organizations can use Community Production for larger programs where portable professional AV is required.

Applications include:

• Community outreach events
• Fundraisers
• Festivals
• Guest speakers
• Conferences
• Banquets
• Outdoor services and programs
• Volunteer events
• Holiday programs
• Special presentations

We can configure the production around your venue, attendance and program rather than forcing every organization into the same equipment package.

Festival AV & Community Event Sound Systems

Festivals create unique AV challenges.

The audience may be spread across a larger area. There may be announcements throughout the day. Music needs to be played between activities. Sponsors need recognition. Presenters and entertainers may rotate through the program.

Community Production gives event organizers a professional foundation for managing those needs.

Depending on your event, we can provide:

Professional PA • Multiple Microphones • Music Playback • Event Announcements • Event Lighting • Video Displays • LED Screens • Technical Support

For events with several production areas or unusually large footprints, contact us for a custom production recommendation.

Professional AV Technician Included

Community Production includes a professional AV technician.

Your technician can manage the agreed-upon audio, microphones, playback, video and other technical elements of the production.

For larger or more complicated programs, additional technicians can be added.

This allows the event organizer to concentrate on the event instead of worrying about which microphone is live, whether the presentation has sound or why a speaker isn't working.

Indoor & Outdoor Event Production

Community Production can support both indoor and outdoor events.

Indoor events may take place in:

Gymnasiums • Ballrooms • Conference Centers • Schools • Universities • Churches • Corporate Facilities • Community Centers • Recreation Centers

Outdoor applications may include:

Parks • Festivals • Community Events • School Grounds • Corporate Campuses • Municipal Properties • Outdoor Celebrations

Outdoor AV requirements can change significantly based on audience size, weather, ambient noise, viewing distance and available power.

We'll work with you to develop an appropriate configuration.
