EXPERIENCE THE RED JOURNEY THROUGH AUDIO VISUAL AND THEMEING


WHAT'S THE OCCASION?

CONFERENCE OR MEETING

High quality vision, sound and lighting are imperative in any meeting or conference, regardless of the size. Be it a training session for 30 or a conference for 700 - all aspects need to be considered. Screen size, roving microphones, speaker support, panel discussions, question and answer sessions, banner lighting and sponsor exposure just to begin.

Solution RED will ensure every contingency is covered. Need a unique look for your plenary? Our stage design and new uses of technology can challenge the way it has 'always been done.'

GALA DINNER

Let's have some fun. Let's render your guests speechless. Dine on up lit glass tables or beautiful specialty linen that shimmers under an opulent centrepiece. Any entertainment production needs to be perfect along with vision of awards presentations, live action to screen and a master of ceremonies that can be heard.

At dinner, effective lighting can change the entire mood of a room and be it an intimate celebration of 50 guests or a room filled with 100 tables - the key is to have audio visual and themeing working together collectively in the one space to bring the event to life. An event style or elaborate theme - your limit is your imagination.

COCKTAIL RECEPTION

A cocktail reception may only need some occasional seating, stylish floral arrangements and drop tables topped with artistic features. For a large number of guests, you may consider subtle divides and highlight pieces so your guests know where the catering is! We will work with your caterers to ensure that the theme is incorporated in to the catering from the food stations to the bars and all the areas in between.

If you want a theme more than a style such as Countdown, Bollywood, Arabian Nights, 1930's Circus or Roaring 20's we may have an existing design or can create something specifically for your event.

CORPORATE ENTERTAINING / MARQUEES

It's a competitive world out there - a marquee needs to be a memorable one and you will want to leave the best impression for your clients. If you want an exclusive design then the Solution RED creative team will show you how to impress! Some of our recent achievements include corporate suites for the 2007 World Swimming Championships, Australian Open, Grand Prix and Melbourne Cup Carnival. Our specialty is incorporating your branding in our designs.

Our clients come from the private and business sectors and include local and international companies and corporations. With creative flair, originality and mindful of your individual needs we will put together a selection of ideas, tailored to your event budget, taste and corporate image. On a large-scale event we often bring on board strategic partners, each of which is recognized as being exceptional in their respective field.

PRODUCT LAUNCH

Revealing your product at the perfect moment is the key to a successful launch. If you want a car to come out of a box, a bottle to 'appear' from thin air or a person to fly into the sky, then you can't go past Solution RED. We maintain attention to detail and will deliver comprehensive research on your behalf. From concept to completion, we strive to make your product the talking point of the evening and in to the future. Our professional, specialist staff will guide and direct the product launch to incorporate marketing displays and traffic designs specifically aimed at pushing sales for the new product or service.

SOCIAL EVENT

Your wedding is a special day - as is your milestone birthday, Bat or Bar Mitzvah! Treat yourself, surprise your guests and ensure that our personal stylist will make your event the most talked about on the social calendar that year! Solution RED has a reputation for delivering matchless, unforgettable social events from funky Grand Prix chill out lounges to extravagant garden weddings.


TECHNICAL

Be it a conference, a product launch or gala evening - you need technical support as a key component of any event. With an experienced team and the latest equipment your message will be loud, clear and well presented.

Solution RED's technical team can assess and deliver the necessary vision, sound and lighting to support your event. Our creative specialists will work with you to bring your message, entertainment or concept to life, either expanding on your ideas or developing a completely new design. From custom building a projection surface or stage set to electronic banners and lighting design, we will provide and manage your complete solution.

THE CREATIVE TECHNICAL TEAM

The creative technical team at Solution RED is lead by Martin Featherston, one of the founders of creative audiovisual support for the events industry. Martin is backed up by a team of project managers who, collectively, can boast over a century of experience in the theatrical and technical arts. All have wide-ranging abilities but, within the team, are specialists in high-end vision, quality audio, complex lighting design, graphic design, musical support and the very latest in conferencing technologies. One of the greatest strengths of a team like this is their ability to bounce ideas off each other to workshop the best solution for a client's event design needs. As part of this process, Lighting & Technical Designer Tim Newman provides the expertise to ensure that the most complex events go together as smoothly as possible.

Martin's team constantly stays abreast of changes in technology in order to bring its clients the latest and the best in equipment, but one of the strengths of the team is also its ability to find new ways to use established technology. This leads to creative technical solutions for clients wishing to lift their event above the pack. Often, this is a very cost-effective way allowing an event with a tight budget to achieve a level of difference by using ideas rather than cash.


CREATIVE

Themeing can lift your event into the realm of the spectacular. It excites, compels, thrills, enthrals, and captivates. Our services include event décor & napery, centrepieces, floral design, furniture or prop design & development. How do we do it? With a team that has extraordinary skills and commitment.

A theme can range from a traditional vision such as 'Bollywood', '1920's Circus' or a 'Taste of Melbourne' to event styling including award ceremonies, intimate dinners and product launches.

We deliver authentic themes researching and developing new ideas regularly. Our Arabian theme is complete with fabrics, lanterns and hookah pipes imported from Dubai. Our hand painted & jewelled Indian elephants and umbrellas create event sensations.

Our linen range is unique, contemporary or traditional, bold or understated. Our furniture is designed with a multitude of skin tight covers to interchange for any event and our floral design is matchless. Our own production team including scenic painters, carpenters, electricians and seamstresses means if we don't have what you want, we soon will!
