Novum Live provides technical event production across audio, video, screens, lighting, staging, content playback, cameras, crew and show control, planned as one resilient production system.
Technical production works best when it is designed around the message and audience rather than treated as a list of equipment. Novum LIVE plans how sound, screens, lighting, staging and effects work together, visualises the environment in advance and prepares the detail needed for a cohesive live experience.
01 · The detail
Technical discovery and system design
The production is designed around the audience, content, venue and critical moments.
Discovery establishes the programme, room, viewing and listening requirements, content formats, venue constraints and dependencies before the technical system is specified.
02 · The detail
Pre-visualisation, testing and rehearsal
Important decisions and failure points are addressed before show day.
The preparation can include layouts, drawings, visualisation, content checks, system testing, crew planning, cueing, rehearsals and venue integration.
03 · The detail
Resilience and accountable show control
Backups and operating plans are proportionate to the consequence of failure.
The technical plan identifies critical paths, redundancy, communications, responsibilities and response procedures for the live team.
Built around the outcome
What the work can include.
Every brief is different. We shape the right mix of thinking, people and production around the audience and the result you need.
01
Design and visualisation
Preview the environment and refine spatial, creative and technical decisions before build.
02
Clear live audio
Design sound systems around the room, content and need for every audience member to hear clearly.
03
Screen systems
Specify and design LED or projection solutions that present content clearly and fit the event.
04
Integrated preparation
Coordinate technical elements in advance so they work together and reduce avoidable on-site changes.
Useful detail for planning, comparing options and writing the brief.
What does event technical production include?
Depending on the brief, it can include technical design, visualisation, audio, lighting, staging, set, LED or projection screens, special effects and live production coordination.
Why visualise an event before the build?
Pre-visualisation helps the client and production team understand the environment, test how the elements fit together and make changes before arriving on site.
What is technical event production?
It is the design, planning and live operation of the audio, video, screens, lighting, staging, content playback, cameras, communications, crew and show-control systems behind an event.
What is included in event AV?
The scope varies but can include sound, microphones, screens, projection or LED, lighting, cameras, playback, streaming, staging, rigging coordination, crew and show control.
Should we use venue AV or an independent production company?
The best route depends on the venue agreement, event complexity, content, service level and accountability required. Novum can review the venue provision against the brief.
What backup systems should an event specify?
Backups should reflect the consequence of failure. Critical microphones, playback, signal paths, power, content and communications are assessed as part of the production design.
