Session 10:Technical 1

Hi everybody good morning hi switch on your we can start the S morning morning good morning guys I love the energy on the Sun morning guys you all know we won't start the session till the time you don't switch on your videos don't worry man it's a Sunday it's it's really not that bad we all know that it's a Sunday it's a rest day so enjoy it while it Lasts no for for them it is not a rest day it is learning day it's a learning day yes every day is a learning day correct okay

RI we can start without wasting any further time yes yes so hello clion sir uh hello thank you so much for your time uh I'm sure everyone is looking forward for the session I'll just give a small intro to all the students so uh clipton sir is a founder of um event an his company uh he has worked for multi Events and traveled all U traveled to a lot of countries for to execute work um Lon sir has worked with all of the best of the um wedding planners event planners all across India and overseas

too he has done all kinds of events like corporates concerts weddings and is closely associated with us and has worked with us for um almost all projects for the past few years and recently he did WOW awards for us and um whenever he gets a layout from anybody Um when he's working on a project he makes sure that he himself does all the detailing and everything for the layout and thank you so much for joining us today and uh thank you for the introduction it's a really heartfelt introduction so yeah hi hi everybody I'll just

quickly start off um welcome to the session of technicals um just as you already heard a little backstory if my only Forefront in all of This is going forward is take this with an open mind because this if if you guys are really you know looking for a career in in the event industry in the wedding industry there's a lot of things that you know you guys need to understand whether it be the basics as well only so that when it comes to your Ong ground execution you know how to manage yourself in case of

any issues that arise um so yeah so welcome to the session um I'm sure that I hope you guys Will learn as much as I have learned over the years and take the experience and knowledge that I have and use it in your own lives going forward as always if there are any questions um you know how the zoom Works raise a raise a hand and uh we definitely can answer them ideally we leave the questions to the end so you guys take notes as and when you will and uh yeah if everybody's ready we

can begin yes Sir yes do I have sharing rights yes yes okay great okay is everybody watching that yeah yeah super great so uh okay so basically um what what this session is going to teach you about is basically all the technicals that are involved in any kind of event be it a concert be it a wedding uh conference you know any of these events there's Always a requirement for some technicals what do you mean by technicals you could mean like an big LED screen that's behind you you could have speaker you could have lights

uh sound micing um you know all those kind of let's say mechanical things or equipments that would require you to run a good sh so this is just an explain explanatory um session about what those features are um first of course we'll go through Is the sound um sound you know you have understand the terminology as well while we go through this session because these things when you're on ground especially speaking with to other vendors your other technical vendors or generally other event managers also on ground or the production teams you these These terminologies are

usually used in order for ease of understanding of what equipment I'm trying to convey a message about so for example your you know a Public announcement system which also is referred to as PA so this is basically you know your main um speaker system that's facing I mean that's in front of the states that's facing your crowd um very important because that's where the actual sound the original sound for your entire environment is going to be set on if those positions are not correct you're going to have a very off sound in the entire venue

simultaneously I show you no mics uh mixers mixers are usually Different kinds of equipment that we use for balancing the sound or uh programming lights and so on and so forth f f is a very common term means front of house so anything that's in front of the stage it's considered an fo uh anything uh that's behind the stage is considered uh B uh so front of house and back of house uh monitors also another terminology for speakers but usually they are kept on the stage for when an artist is going to perform which I'll

explain later DJ console I'm sure everybody knows uh instruments um these involve drum kits guitars keyboards and so on and the most one is technical rider now this is for people who are let's say going I mean I wouldn't say even going into venturing into a specialization about technicals but in a general rule of th every artist who comes to any platform be it a wedding convention or concert they usually come with a specified list of equipment that They need and that equipment needs to be executed by us and the vendors and of course understanding

what equipment uh what speaker system what kind of mics this is all mentioned in a technical rider that comes when it comes from an artist so technical Riders are super important for any kind of event all right communication um so again with sound we can also incorporate communication and all of this uh communication is basically what how we Can converse with each other on ground um we have various kinds of communication such as you know we have walkie-talkies we have an entry bomm system uh we maybe have headsets and you know some other other information

other equipment that we can converse where you know we don't have to constantly be using our phones this is like a direct information that goes from let's say from me to to another person on the ground that I want to him to know about For example if there was something I needed from the production crew I would immediately put it on my walkie and you know uh it's a quick quicker response time uh especially when you're on ground from the phone from a mobile phone or from a message so that's just the basics right right

so with sound um what what you'd see is of course you'd have your speakers um commonly used everywhere you'd have uh you you Normally see these at a smaller function which are like you know a base which is on the bottom then you have a stand in the middle of it and then you have a top speaker the differentiation between this is that a top speaker never usually has a base amplification it's only the base uh the that the base that would have the amplifier to project that amount of Base that we needed for an

event uh speaker monitors like I said exactly looking the same as a speaker Can be converted as a speaker can be turned into a monitor as well and this is like a speaker monitor for your artist as you maybe you've seen that on concerts where you have uh son Nigam or you have somebody else and they have these speakers in front of them that's facing them that's the only reason is because they need to hear how their sound is going out into the audience so that's why we call them as monitors because the we monitor

or the artists Themselves can monitor how their voice is being modulated when it goes outside um amplifiers and flying sound basically different terminologies again amplifiers are usually used for guitars and Basse guitars as everybody knows um flying sound is a kind of a terminology that we use when we have to fly the sound as simple as that um this is basically where we have an entire thrust system and all the sound is basically flown from above uh to give it a more Directional sound wave that you know happens happens for your crowd and you know

as as it always goes you can have the best of equipment in any venue but if you don't have the right uh positioning um you you're failing as an event your guests are not going to be happy and especially if you're going to be doing a 50,000 concert sound is something that's so vital that you can't miss it um of course you have DJ mixers which Are many in the market now you have Pioneers you have red box you have so many so many Brands um specifically DJs like working with Pioneers because they're multi-functional uh

but again it's it's preference to preference and remember what I said about client speakers on the last slide we also have something called Ground stack uh ground stack is usually used for a closer environment where you know we basically it means that it's Stacked on the ground and it's stacked over each other so we just make make levels and levels and levels of bases and sounds and yeah that's how it works so you have fly sound and you have ground sound am I going too fast for anybody know right I'm I'm pretty decent okay this

is what we call a digital audio mixer again various various brands in the market and different kinds of channels what you're seeing here is a 16 channel output with Multi-function to make it a 92 Channel output um you know um I have done shows where I had to have maybe four of these kind of uh mixers on on the on my console because you know that's how many mics were there that's how many instruments were there I remember when I had done a Orchestra uh a 40 piece Orchestra for for for India we had about

seven of these on the console and we had four of these on the back end because it was a 40 piece band Imagine so you have 40 instruments uh you had two drum kits each drum kit has about about 14 mics so that's you know you you you have to have that many channels when it comes to a mixer so having a mixer vital to what your requirements are is super super super important again these are types of mics um which is your handheld mics cordless mics lapel mics headset mics uh different kinds of wired

mics Podium mics yeah this different ways of having Mics um of course everybody knows this I'm just going to skip through this lyrics stand mik stand I think is self explanatory uh terminology is used in sound so yeah oh um yep Rika has a question yeah sir sir can you elaborate this a technical rider can you give some examples yeah I I will I will do that in the later slide okay I will explain that okay um so um the terminology is used in uh in audio right now whenever you're on Ground is audio levels

what you mean by Audio levels is you know the on on the system on the mixer system you'd have levels of sound and levels of calibration that you can do to amplify the lows mids and highs what I mean by lows mids and highs is basically in sound there are three kinds of applications that happen one is your lows which is your bases your mids which is your trebbles and your highs which is your Forus so these are different levels that you you need to understand especially a sound engineer would would better explain these things

to you when it comes to a ground so that you know what level you're playing with like for example your volume could be at at 10 at let's say 0 to 10 which we say minus 10 DB DB is a decel so we had we are at minus 10 DB for U you know for the for the room so if that helps you then we have delays delays are usually known as Speakers that we put far away from the stage um so if there is a venue that's maybe let's say 500 square ft long like

you know you have that much area in the venue you would need to amplify your speakers by adding another set of speakers that's maybe 100 ft away because what happens with sound is when sound travels sound loses its uh potential to reach you at the far end so that's why when it comes to a delay we kind of have to add some set of speakers Apart from the state speakers in order to throw the sound away technical PRI as I said I'll come to it sound console we we've gone through that uh surround sound yeah

sorry daa has asked in the chat box can you repeat what's mids and highs oh mids and highs yes um so mids are basically your uh your mid levels like you know when you speak you have three three kinds of levels within your own system like if I talk like this it's it's a base if I talk like this it's a Mid and if I go higher it's it's called a high right so likewise in sound you have three levels of of uh of frequency I can see that throws you the final output of sound

if I can explain this so you have your lows mids and highs these three things combined to make a perfect sound that is thrown on your speaker does that make sense everybody um I can show you a video about it in in in in the later when once We reach the question and answer section okay uh parameters to decide your sound requirement of course your space your audience your Decor Your Entertainment your artist and your budget um every time it comes down to mostly importantly is the space the audience and the budget um you can't

have a big space with low low amount of speakers you can't have uh let's say a speaker set for an audience that's not anticipated for it for example if you'd Have a 5,000 people audience you'd need a I don't know you need 16 tops and eight bases and so on and so forth but that's again more detailed stuff this um and of course you have to understand with every increase in your sound requirement it comes down to that you know the cost also increases which you kind of have to manage with your vendor really really

well and negotiate as much as you can in order to get the best deal without compromising on your event and Your sound for the event okay key elements to sound management um so again requirements and Tech Riders basically one of the most key element is that uh in a basically a tech Rider comes from an artist or or comes from a DJ or comes from let's say anybody who is performing on stage what this Rider will state is that you know I need for example I'm the artist yeah Clifton's coming on ground Clifton needs to

have four two monitors on stage he Needs to have uh he needs to have the PA system amplifi to let's say example if the capacity of the event is thousand people so he needs the sound to travel to 1,200 people um he needs four mics he needs a headset mic he needs uh some ppts to be played so he'll need some visual uh entity or or somebody on the light board or sorry on the LED board to control the presentation or he may need a clicker in his hand to you know present something on the

screen so these Things are called a technical rider what happens with this is that you know you you understand what the artist is looking for and you have to kind of manage to speak to your sound team and your like team your video team whoever whichever the technical team is to understand that hey guys this is my technical rider that my artist has sent we have to provide this if they can't provide this you know we have other ele other equipment as well but you know we Have to inform the artist because at the end

of the day through all my shows there is always a very big clause and a disclaimer and every technical rider that the artist has a right to refusal of performance on stage if his technical rider is not met and hence why when when we receive a technical rider I literally either go through it myself and have a team member with me so that he can communicate the same thing to my sound and my my technical teams as well so Super super super important I can't stress how much a technical writer will help you going forward

when you plan your let's say when if you go into Stage management or technical management throughout your careers um of course then second one is your layout another second big one uh basically the layout will tell you how big your space is and I'll give you an example of how the Sound Works in that sense so let me reach to a later point In that budget of course uh budget is very important you have to understand what money you're going to be spending on this on all your technical inventory so that you have the right

right equipment for the right cost Logistics also another big issue because you know at at one point in time when you're running an event especially like especially like a wward um you only have two days to set up but in those days of setup you have so many things Happening and and your Logistics team has to be so planned out that you know your truck entry your delivery schedule or offloading time when's the truck going to vacate the premises so that the next truck can come in otherwise what's going to happen is that you're just

going to have chaos at the at the gates and and then as the term I like to always say You' have a bunch of headless chickens running around not knowing what is going on and what will Happen um timelines where very very important because you need to set boundaries for your own s rather than anybody at the end of the day always remember something guys whenever you get into an event management scope you are the leader of that space that you are working in you dictate the terms to your technical vendors or your any other

vendor that comes on ground to understand that Hey listen I want this setup at this time because that is as For your time remember something here very clearly you the vendors work for you you you don't work for the vendors so at the end of the day if there is something that you feel is not within your timeline you have complete authority to make it sure that it happens in your timeline because ultimately people are I mean let's say the the companies who hire you to do projects are not going to go down to the

technical team and saying that hey why Didn't you set this up in time they're going to come to you because you guys are managing the show um on-site team as well super important you know whenever I have so again I I say this with a heavy heart I've always taken care of my team at the end of the day as I always say there is no I in team there is a effort by a collective group who understands how everybody functions and of course in every event there's always going to be Frustrations and there's going

to be fears of the unknown and oh my God I did something wrong but at the end you know it's it's it's a team effort you you come through it together as a team and always respect that look after your teams and make sure that everybody knows what they're doing and if anybody doesn't uh help help um for example at w Awards I had 150 people on the site I had literally put all 150 people to work only because you know there were so many Things rolling that one person alone cannot stand and gauge at

everything so for like I was handling all the technicals I had a team handling production I had sweee and team who were managing who were artists you know it's a collective effort and uh of course final thing is your Venue permissions um which I think everybody knows for to run in any event you definitely need venue permissions government POS permissions and of course State permissions that Come out okay so going back to sound layout now so here's one thing um like for example this would have come for Sonu Nigam show this would be kind of

things that you would see in a technical rider apart from all the list of having different kinds of M basically um doesn't look very uh you know how I say complicated this is basically a stage that that Sono Nigam schem would be on stage um the state Size is a 60x 40 size um we know or rather we know now or what the band is requiring from us to do when they have a state performance so you have a drum kit which is on the left the drum kit is on a riser so that means

I have to get in in touch with my production team to build this riser for me and have it on stage um you have his drums then you have abig G he is probably the percussionist then you have the keyboard players then you have another percussion Person then you have the Tas um you have the chorus you have the lead guitar you have the bass guitar and then finally in the save Center you have the main artist who's singing and of course in front of him those little boxes that you see those are what you

call monitor speakers um on the left what you see is called the the uh amplifier which I showed you earlier but this is the bigger one on the that's for a base amplifier on the right hand side you'd Have the lead guitar or Forest guitar amplifier and on the extreme right is basically you have this gentleman standing there in the monitor world we call him the monitor World he's like the person who's out of the entire event in his own little world and that's why we in the event industry we called it monitor World basically

what this guy is doing is so as you know everybody on stage has a in your mic or in your headset I mean you've seen it on a Taylor Swift concerts or you've seen on sonum they have something in their ear basically what's that in their ear is what's actually what they want to hear um for example I could have the entire sound system here playing in my ear but if I chose to I could ask the monitor guy in the monitor world that Hey listen I only want to hear the drummer or I only

want to hear uh the base guitar so that level can be controlled in his ear so that When the artist is performing he is in in Tangent in sync with his with his uh instruments so super important that's why we leave him on his own and he's kind of on a world in his own we always have fun with this guy anyways joke placement of speakers again super important uh as you see these are monitor speakers on stage where the performer would be in stand on the left hand side you'd see what fly speakers actually

look like they're all Hung from Top angled in the position of a curve so that sound uh travels in the way we want it to travel U You' have the tech Rider which which which I'll show you at some point there we go so for example some uh somebody was asking me about a tech Rider so this is what You' see in a son Nigam Tech Rider know that every year a tech Rider changes so it it goes per performance per performance also every year there is always a release of new Equipment in the markets

so we always have to constantly adapt to it so can you zoom the screen because we can't see that oh yeah sure sure can you see it now yes sir yeah thank you so basic I mean it's a basic understanding um if you uh if you go into a specialization course after this if you guys just only want to be event managers then honestly this this material should not be something that you should stress on but if you are going into uh let's say if You're going into a specialization course uh which is like let's

say Sound Engineering then you know this these things would would really be interesting because every requirement has a mic for example a t so you have basically the channels I as I mentioned on every system you have like multiple up to 92 channels up to 100 channels so right now I have a sheet that is showing me 53 channels out of the 53 channels I have my instrument list which is my Basse my T my dolops then you have my musician name the person who is performing on those instruments youd have the mic now the

mic is important because these will tell you exactly which mic is playing what equipment uh super important when it comes to this because sometimes when we have uh on on ground execution we kind of fail to remember which uh wire goes to which mic and that kind of creates a problem because if we don't know that and something happens to that Mic we can't replace that mic in time and that one one instrument for example the T would be would not be heard on the on the on the main system on the PA and then

you have the stand basically a stand is what what kind of stand mic stand that they want they want a smaller boom usually a tablea you know is on a floor or it's on a on a tabletop so you they require a smaller um boom stand which is a mic stand so just a smaller version of it then a tall boom is you Know what you'd have for a high High instrument you'd have drums you'd have the Bongos Tas I mean sorry Congos and all that right so this again like I said it's a very

uh specialized thing every sound engineer knows this information that's why whenever we receive this um because I have done a specialization and Sound Engineering I mean I've done specialization every kind of uh area of an event um I read this I understand what It is and I sit with my sound sound engineer and I go through everything one by one just so that we don't have a miss because what happens is at the at any event also for example a Sono Nigam they come in with their own sound technician and if you don't if you

don't do your homework and if if your you and your sound engineer that you employ on the ground don't do your homework and do the connections as for this list it and the artist sound engineer is not happy about It what could happen is there could be a delay in your event and again as I mentioned in every technical rider there is always a very clear cut statement that you know if if the rider is not as per Mark the artist has a refuser and we don't really want that on any side you know we

want our artist to be happy as well again these are more information about a technical rider that would come in um your outputs which is your monitor consoles you'd have for example a Sonu Nigam he want an in- your plug which I remember I told you this is the in years that you have the the headsets that they have in their ears um you'd have the female vocalist you have Sumit who's another singer you know all all these kind of things you have Rogers who's a drummer and these are all your other informational things that

come into into your technical rider which comes from your artist and audio inventory like all The different kinds of audio equipment that we need for digo which is for the for the mixer PA Acoustics L Acoustics this is another you let's say it's a Speaker Company BNB is another Speaker Company adamon is another Speaker Company so out of you know whatever they their options are we provide one of these options to them and of course your backline your backline very common word backline in the event industry backline means the Instruments that an artist would require

so we don't call them instruments on ground we call them backline why we call them backline because they're always behind the main artist you have the main artist who's always singing in the front and you'd have instruments be behind them which is usually referred to as the backline because we just make a line out of it right does that explain U yeah again Different kinds of informations that we' see going into communication devices for show running super important walkie-talkies and intercom systems um walkie talkies are very simple you know every I can sure everybody in

this group has used a walkie-talkie in their lives it's just a device with an antenna it has multiple levels communication just different you can have I can have my housekeeping my Production my operations my registration all on the same walkie-talkie just on different channels so if I need to communicate with anybody I just switch and turn it on quickly these are the different kind of walkie-talkies you see in the market you have the ones with the antennas um push button talks headsets and of course you have the other parts of the intercom system again a

little bit more technical information Um you have intercom systems that are wired or Wireless usually in any kind of event now we kind of go with a wireless network unless and until you have a network where you require to have a wired connection like for example if you doing a prime minister event you definitely require to have a wired connection everywhere because when the prime minister of India comes into any event there is a network blocker everywhere you cannot make phone calls You cannot make uh you cannot use your walkie talkies you cannot use WhatsApp

nothing works so that's why having a wired Communication in those government organiz events is super super helpful that way nothing disrupts your channel of communication and as always the whenever on on any government event everybody's hearing whatever you're saying so be very cautious I've had many failed experiences with many members of of people on a government event right um Again other information is single and double Channel Bell packs wired Wireless again six Channel I'll show you the images um so this is what you call a base station for a clearcom channel so you this is

a four Channel clearcom which is AB CD and this is usually kept at the main production room or uh let's say the War Room what we call it it's basically the room where you know all our CCTV cameras are plugged in all our emergency responder units are placed uh Fire Marshals U maybe there's an amb with sorry there a first aid unit with a doctor in it there maybe some of the technical management teams so they're basically always listening to everything that's happening during the event um very important because they are the let's say how

we call them the First Response Team that you know will uh will come into effect when there is a big problem that you know everybody else on the floor is busy to Handle and this is a two channel two channel based station just a two channel output this is more for a directed communication like only if I want to talk to one particular person throughout the event for example if I'm on the console and I want to talk only to my backstage team and I don't want my backstage team to hear anybody else I'd just

probably get a two channel station so that I can communicate with that person directly without any Interruption From any other channel U these are the these are the belt packs yeah yeah yeah in the chat um R is asking who decides the stage layout in case of artist performance is it the event plan or team yes so basically the the stage is decided by eventually your stage designer and your internal management team what is suggested by the in the rider or rather what we call the stage plot in a technical rider by an artist what

we call that is basically an Example of how they' want their stage to set up I could have a stage size that's maybe 100 ft by 50 ft but the rider has stated that he sends me a stage size of 60 ft by 40 ft that doesn't mean that I have to reduce my stage but yes what's important is the position of his equipment the position of his artist on any stage so for that they give an example that hey this is how I want my uh equipment to be placed this is where I want

want my artist to stand and According to every state size we accommodate whatever is required okay does that answer the question yes it thank you yes great um cool sorry I should keep my meeting chat also open so that I can see whoever's writing on there right okay great so this these are the these are the channel packs that you have these are placed on your belt this is more for direct communication this is not a virus Uh sorry a a walkie talkie so this will be commonly used by a stage a showrunner a person

who's basically running the show for the event he'd be he or she would be in charge of you know telling telling the technical team how they want what time they want the LED screen to shift between content to content if there is a speaker on stage or you know if if the sound needs to be played or if there is a track that needs to be played at what particular time so that's Basically used by uh a showrun team or a showrun SL backstage management team who is going to communicate between what's happening in the

front of the stage and what's happening behind the stage you have single belts and du belts which is as you see single is just one one call button so if you press that button you're you're talking to the person which is highlighted in red if you're not talking to the person you press the button and it just goes white And this is a dual Channel where you have two kind of channels so I can communicate with two kinds of teams from the console one being my maybe a left uh left side stage and a right

side stage so A and B subsequently um these also are s um another kind another version of wired ones basically these are wired connections they are hooked on to you by a wire and you can't walk away from the console with this on your pocket because The wire is linked directly to the console and this is what you use during a government event so that you don't have any interruptions that's why you're limited with this movement but yeah uh the communication on this is the best I've ever had uh because it's so clear as you

know everything that runs through a wire is always much more clearer than anything that runs Wireless um these are again the different kinds of headsets you'd have just it just Affect at the end of the day you want comfortable ones over your head because you know you're going to be wearing this for about 8 to 12 hours of the day so definitely the years take a take a huge battering uh when you have to wear this constantly um this is kind of a diagram of how it works in terms of you know where there receiver

is placed for example this is the wireless receiver where you have my antennas going in and there is one always one main uh unit Which we call the primary unit which is directly linked uh either wirelessly or wired to the main system and what happens after that is every other belt that I have is linked to the main unit through a wireless channel so if the main unit goes off because of the battery every other unit goes off unfortunately that's a flaw in in every kind of communication device but it's needed because that's the way

battery life can sustain Itself especially if you're running for 12 hours and I've done shows I've done shows with 14 hours and I've Chang my belt back maybe four times so yeah and then you'd have you know you'd have the director show follower which is another unit so you'd have the blue one is basically for the stage and and the red one is for the show caller where he's and the director of the show who's running the show who tells exactly what everybody should Do uh ethics um intercom ethics I know that everybody has used

one but you know this the most important thing is is how you use a communication device um it's not like a mobile phone as I always say it's it's you have to be very clear and concise and through the statement you have like on on shows I've had maybe 300 people on a walkie and you can't have a full on communication in fact even to have a 10-second communication with 300 people on a walkie it's so difficult Because everybody's just trying to get the information out there and that's why we like to I like to

tell people you know keep it short keep it brief keep it keep it to the point so that you you're not using another person's uh communication time that also could be vital to the event you know um switch off the mic button when you're not talking so very simple I've had people who've had your cigarette breaks and jokes on my walkies outside of the event Uh because they were because the button was pressed or the mic was not muted and again this really affects the overall game of things because we also don't know who whose

walk is pressed you know we can just hear background noise we can't hear the person speaking and it's so difficult to tell 300 people hey somebody's walkie is pressed and we need to understand that we don't we that's why having this ethics is very important um again if you pay somebody And someone doesn't respond give them time of course very important because you know I um I've had many moments but I've had 15 people trying to page me on the walkie for the same thing U but because you're you are the event manager you are

going to get 15 pages because you're the one running the show right um You have to take your time out and respond to one person or respond or let's say focus on the things you're doing before you go on and to change Something else because in the event industry especially when on ground um it's a vicious cycle I I say only because you know when one thing goes wrong it's a domino effect that creates a domino effect to everything else going wrong um you have to plan yourself you have to keep yourself cool-headed you can't

panic and just you know attend to everything and if somebody's paging you and if you're are trying to page somebody give them that time to react to That page or maybe they might be doing something if you're doing something someone calls out to you uh be respectful give them one minute reply yeah you can say that you know you please hold I'm I'm just doing something so that the other person also knows that hey you know what that person is busy doing something if there's a conversation going on on the same channel give that time

to speak before you speak as always like I said it's Just it's just simple ethics it gets helps get the word out there it helps get the communication out there okay um we just go through a break um I know everybody is just bored of this like I said it's it's it's a very introductory session but so crucial that when it's spoken about it just helps you in in going ahead in the future okay it's a break time I I don't know what you guys want me to do whether You guys want to keep the

break or you guys want me to go further I'm okay to go further I'm okay for the break whatever you guys want shall we continue guys yes five minute break okay okay okay okay let's do this let let's do it this we give it a three minute break okay sure sure make we'll make everybody happy okay e Okay um come back Shall We Begin yes sir we're going to all right Co um so going ahead now cool thing trust this okay so basically you know what you see box plus gold po plus seap plus Hing

Plus I'll show you pictures of it uh in the later slides I think that will require some picture explanation and sfx is your special effects basically U Special effects as you know it's required on any kind of event now makes the event look cool uh makes some flare uh you have some sparklers that you know shoot up in the air it's like wow it's great sfx is cool uh so different kinds of sfx's are there in the world you have your fluming why is my screen not going down yeah linax you have your PO pyro

co2's fog machines color smokes so again all all information that you'll see pictures Of going forward so I'm just going to excuse me sir what do you sfx sir sfx is special special effects special effects yes special effects so that's why we call sfx special effects are basically a confetti cannon you know where you have those handheld confetti cannons when you burst at parties or birthday parties but we have bigger bigger version of that I'll show you in the in the next slide technical specs what happened to S oh okay sorry no it's dead in

the L sorry guys um uh lights uh lights super important in any event lights set the mood for everything you as I always can you please display the previous light sir oh yeah sure um yeah so gold Bast means what sir I'll show you that like I said so let's let's go again with this this opened up differently so we have the lights first which I'm going to explain about Lighting when we go into the next slide that you've seen uh trussing I will explain when I reach to the pictures because again this requires you

to have a visual ey on it rather than explaining what this terminology means and sfx I'll also show you what they look like in pictures um it's the best way you can understand what these terms mean for now if you want to take a screenshot of this and and keep it handy um take it so that you'll see it later but it's explained Later on I'll show you okay so we'll start with the lights okay lights is super important uh for any event whatever event you're doing ER as I say that you could have the

best decoration um the market has to offer but without lighting you can't do anything with that decoration um your light design has to be so important to any event because that's what creates that wow factor for your stage and for Your audience it's what captivates you like for example if I'm sure you guys have been to many concerts and many shows the one thing that catches your eyes is not only the huge states that you're seeing in front of you but the lights and the moving and the color changes you know that draws your attention

to what is happening and it's very important to you know grab the attention of your of your audience um to the stage so that Everybody is appreciative of what's going on right you know there that's that wow factor um different kinds of lights are there to amplify everything every kind of light um I'll show you pictures again this is just you know um different names of different lighting features that we have earlier in the early days of 2000s like prior to 2000s we used to use bulp lights which was really something that was crazy in

this world then then the World moved to LED and today we are creating some of the most fantastic ways to use lights all around for any event and around the world um if you're really interested in lighting is a sign and one of my favorite topics about any event is the lighting I honestly would recommend a specialization course in lights it's something that will always keep you going forward um so these are called LED parans basically they are known as Washes for us what we'd say because you know if you have a wall and you

put maybe 50 of these and you turn them on maybe to a red to an orange to a blue it kind of covers the wall in that color so if you've seen you've seen at weddings I'm sure that you have these little features it's only to amp to create that color scheme that we want to you know around the venue so we usually use LED Park can they also call LED washes um the concept of them is just to wash the Wall of a color that we want to have on the site uh sorry uh

these are different kinds of spotlights that you see um and follow lights a follow light is so a spotlight is basically hooked up to a trust which I'll show you in the next slide and it's focused on that artist it's uh it can be in today's world that you know we have everything automated so at the touch of a button we can rotate it we can tilt it up and down we can Turn it left and right um whatever we want that light to do we can do that so that's spotlights what we call them

follow lights are are used for you know when you have an MC on on the on the stage or you when you have a primary figure who's going to be using the mic you've always seen that you know there's a light focused on them only that's usually a follow light what we call it a follow spot and the main idea is to just follow this person moving on stage and Keep the focal light on him or her so that the video output is what you know the the guys on the cameras are getting the best

uh light for that person um moving heads again these are the ones that you see in the events that are moving up and down changing colors um they are just there to create that ambient light features to everything uh shopy lights these are like ones that have different kind of settings inside the light you can maybe Have a multiple beam light which you can see in the back here like I have a one two three beam light so you can change it to a four beam light it's a different level you can have different patterns

inside as well maybe you can have a star inside it all different uh features that this light has over the other one so basically the difference between a moving head and a Sharpie uh is a moving head is only one light with one feature Sharpie is one life with multiple Features uh halogens and blinders again hallogen are used to maybe light up my area if I need to light up my area blinders are what you normally see in front of the stage facing the audience um so that you know when when the artist is talking

to to the audience uh you know the artist also wants to see the faces and in a dark environment you can't really see the people's faces if you're more than maybe 6 F feet away from the stage so that's why we hook up These blinders to the stage in order for the artist to see their audience also and you know then the artist also gets pumped up and you know wants that energy that hey you know I've got a great audience uh to perform better blinders um architectural lighting the stands again the stands are what

you'd see in smaller venues maybe a birthday party or or a ring ceremony or you know in a in a let's say in an event call um Again it's just basic things to throw basic lights onto a stage a very small feature and uh architectural lighting super important I'm sure everybody now recently has seen the venue lighting and all the buildings uh that for for Independence Day you've seen the tri color of India these are created using these lights and these are super powerful um they really can light up a 60 story building without a

problem and since the use of led the power Consumption on these are so brilliant I've had maybe seven seven buildings for independence day that we had to do and Architectural lighting was the way forward super cool uh next a Goos very uh very cool thing in the since the early early early early life style of of lighting when it came out in the world goo basically it's a small little dis that you create these kind of logos inside the light and you can play around with them they can Rotate they can be study they can

change colors um very cool so you can make U event logos you can make your logo you can make uh a sponsor logo you can do lots of other things with with the goo light lighting consoles very important just like how you have a sound console you also have a lighting console so basically this kind of a console would be where you operate all your lighting your stage lights uh your front of house lights your Venue lighting all Controlled through this and there's a lighted designer again another specialized if you choose to like how I

said Sound Engineering is a specialized course therefore you also have a light engineering which is a specialized course and you can do phenomenal work on these things and as the market goes there are multiple companies in the world who are making some fantastic equipment in order for light designers to create and control All the Lights On Stage for an event uh laser lights again is very recent in the market uh laser lights are super cool but just beware whenever you use a laser light there is a certain requirement of it to be at a certain

height level and because the problem with lasers is it's so powerful that if you use your phone and your camera gets and if your camera your a laser beam just hits your camera lens your your phone is finished that's how powerful a Laser lens is it usually uses around 30 wat power or a 50 wat power in order to power it so that's why lasers like even if it hits your um Iris on a long period of time you could get affected your eyesight could get affected that's why we never really look into a laser

light directly and whenever we have to use a laser it is always above the height of my audience whether I'm on a whether my stage is on a six feet height and my so so if my audience is zero level my stage Is on a 4 feet height and then I have my lasers my lasers is usually at a 10 ft height because my lasers have to be I mean we have when you are on remember it is your responsibility to make sure that you know no body gets hurt or damaged through your equipment and

lasers can can do that for you I've had four phones that have been struck by laser beams um that I've had to throw away um gel lights gel lights are basically the very simple light it's uh I mean different kinds of names again for different lights so it's a yellow light uh in which situation would we use laser lights I mean you could use them for any situation I would use them for an EDM concert I would use them for a Brian Adams concert um I would not use them for a bedding function I would

maybe use them for uh yeah like like a techno pop hip hop or whichever it depends on your it depends on your uh your event of course and also Depends on your budget laser lights are not cheap they really are uh pretty crazy in the market and of course you have Chinese made products and you have German made products I always go for the German products because the output on that is just crazy I've done I I've had some fun times with laser lights uh so was also having a question she raised her hand oh

yeah sure what's the question uh I just wanted to know how do you hang all these lights are you Going to tell that like after you finish this or how was how do you how do you man all these lights yes yes from my light control from my light Bo from this Bo so no how do you hand these all of these lights hand oh I'll show you yeah that I'll show you that that's coming up in the trusting bit when it comes to uh sfx sfx this is your again Haze Machin smoke machines um

in any event I'm sure you have gone to you've always seen a very Hazy uh environment where the light beam is hitting and you're seeing some smoke around so these are what creates that basic uh only because you know when you see a light when there's no Haze you don't see the beam of the light but when a haze is thrown when this when smoke is created you see the aura or you see that glow of that beam so that's why we use hazes a lot No Light Designer in this world does without a haze

machine Uh if if it's close to the stage would artists need any precaution uh no so it's always behind the artist it's never in front of of the artist I'll show you or it's always on top of the artist it's never uh in their eyesight or in their level right so as you see now you know this is the kind of lighting things that I would explain to you um You' have your stage lighting which is your artist lighting with follow spots on them as You can see you see the bigger white circles they are

basically follow spots that's put onto them for their lighting you'd have the stage lighting which you see here and you'd have your Venue lighting and audience lighting what we like to call which is all around the venue as you see and the reason why you're seeing these beams is because you know there is that Haze in the air which is created by the smoke machine um for that beam to be Seen methods of lighting up lighting again these are all different kinds of terminology used for lighting so up lighting meaning uh if it's on the

stage and projecting upwards projecting up to my face it's called up lighting down lighting means if it's on top of me projecting down it's called down lighting front lighting is in front of me back light is behind me wash light is just a wash over me so like how I explained um when you see the LED PS at Different areas it's just a wash that it gives the color uh projection is basically what you see here in the front of this F this is all kind of like a projection light which is done by these

1 2 3 4 five and in this picture also you can see you know how the lighting is rigged up onto the truss and I explain trusses again later on but as you can see This Is How They you know they hooked and they're attached to all the systems and of course decoration Lighting which is decoration lighning oh so missed one um up lighting as you see this is a pure description of up lighting how light is faced on the bottom and it's facing upwards so this is all up lighting um down lighting as you

can see lights are coming from top to down from here to down focusing on my tables focusing on the bar this all called down lighting uh front and back lighting which clearly examples so you have a Trust bar which is the front here and you have a trust bar which is on the back the back is usually the back trust so it's all back lighting to as you see the colors and then the front lighting is usually um white so that you know when the videography team is taking is doing the captures and it's going

live there's enough of lighting on their faces to amplify wash lighting as you can clearly see this is just a wash so I've created An Ambience within my environment um using LED powers to create this wash here I have used or here the Light Designer has used a goo to project a pattern onto the ceiling and onto the walls to create that effect here also simultaneously he's done it from the on the floor so that means the light is right above me uh projection as you see this is this is what they have projectors so

we use projectors uh projectors are really cool Um in the market but super expensive to rent um because you know you you have to understand projectors are not something small they are a huge piece of inventory that you can't uh fail to you know use or not use it depends on you like for example and uh if I needed to if you've seen the Gateway of India there has been or or any other Monument of around the world there is always something that projects onto it that's the use of projectors that we use and we

Create content based on that information is projection and 3D mapping the same yes it is the same 3D mapping is the same but what we call 3D mapping is basically we map out the building so on our system we will bring the projector first we'll bring our equipment we'll hook up everything and then we will map the building so we'll create a rudimentary line around the the building first to create our border and then within that border we know what content We want to create so usually what we call 3D mapping is doing this effort

first and then projection mapping is what also is known as projection but yes it is it is the same terminology excuse me sir yeah tallest building in Dubai is it a projection the F no the the Dubai is not actually a projection Dubai created something pool with LEDs um so the LEDs are in built into the building okay so those are Those they sometimes do projections but the problem with projections is you really need to have a very dark space because projector as as if you if you remember during college days uh you had I

mean we all had projectors the projector had room had to be really really dark in order for you to see your content so usually that happens in areas that we can control the darkness but on a global scale like like the like Dubai it's so impossible to cover to make it So dark because of all the other building lights around it so when they designed the building they created a system where they Incorporated LEDs within the construction and that's how they that's how they do the entire U content related work that they do okay thank

you sir uh decoration lighting as you see again this just different ways of lighting up your decor and these are all rice lights to create this kind of structure and around this Thing um terminology um again so here's a prime example of trusses if I can explain trusses to you also in the sky though it is coming up in the next um we have a square truss which is hanging from the ceiling um these are all different kinds of Motors that are holding the truss up in space and we have all the lighting to it

um terminologies you have stage lighting architectural ambient lighting console lighting lighting instruments connected I'm not going to go through this this is just your just basic understanding of everything I know everybody's getting bored of these things um second so here's here's here's the process of understanding um the lighting and whatever you're going to be doing on your event is understanding the brief more important what are the elements and requirements that is required for your stage in order to run the show um of Course a quote from your vendor who's going to tell you that hey

this is how much your equipment is going to cost your confirmation make sure you get it in writing By Word of Mouth really today's world nothing works um please get it in confirmation I've had my hands bitten many times because I've not got things in confirmation in written confirmations uh pre-planning phase always with the technical teams and or your core tee always understand how You're going to do your setup um Logistics uh of course your movement and on-site management and your showlow that's basically it crossing right super important um one of the one of the

areas that I literally went to study in uh in Vienna for um really guys if if this is something that really impress you um it it's it what Peak my interest in the events when I first started out and I went to study it um types of trusses are super important in this world because Each trust has the weight of the entire event or the entire lighting sound sfx whatever else you planning on putting on the trust you know you have something's called trust bars that I explain I told you what a box trusses what

te truss vertical trust these are just different kinds of trusses I'll explain everything to you going forward right now um so these are what you call a trust bar an individual piece is usually Called the trust bar when we combine it together we can make different shapes of trusses so what we've created here is called the gold po trust because it resembles a gold po it's just two two legs and one top part which called the gold po CR um just like football right here you have a vertical truss just a single piece of truss

on a base plate to take its weight support and uh you know and then we hook up some lights to it to create that a t trus very simple looks Like a t- shape so we call it a tus and of course this is also another taller but shorter te um so it's it's on a a higher level than this but a shorter te on top you know so we don't have to go too far out like how we've come too far out here could be important in your space construction um this is so I

have a question sorry to interrupt you uh these particular vertical trusses if we are to put them at a venue where it is very Much windy do they stay or do we have to make additional adjustments you have to make additional supports very important I've had many trusts over my career and of course other people's careers but I have been to and I have seen with my own eyes how a trust system has fallen and I I think everybody um I mean I'll explain the situation I explained this last year to the last year students

as well a couple of years in couple of years ago in Delhi um what's happened uh so yeah I'll come to that to the story when I when I show you the entire TR TR line so yes having a support here to your question having a support here is very important because it will take the weight any I mean though this truss is a you know a see-through truss and it has holes it has gaps but you can't ever underestimate the power of Mother Nature especially if it's outdoor or even for a fact underestimate the

power of a human being a child could go to this and you Know shake this crust and it could fall though the base plate if you ever lifted a base plate weighs more than more than 10 kilos i' I've had a very difficult time lifting one of these on my own um I've had trust plates that maybe will be 80 kilos right only to take the weight but a child could come and just swaye and immediately Falls and you're you're really playing with safety at this point so yeah I'll explain this this story a little

bit later to you sure uh box rust Again it's just an amplification it's a 3D view of a gold post PR if you saw a gold post PR was just the gold post a box PR is the added uh feature to make it look like a box from every side right a GD rust super important okay so I think this is a good prime example maybe if I have another one inside h no okay so the grd trust I'll explain this on the grd TR grid trust super important so what we've done here is we've

used a trust beam to make a box trust which you See the box and inside that box we have created two vertical beams as you can see here one and two right or just a prime example what happens with this kind of layout is that you know you see all these lights have a particular reason for being there because maybe in the artist Tech Rider the artist wanted these particular lights to face to be on top of his uh performance or maybe the Light Designer said that this is the best way I'm going to amplify

my light With my stage uh super important here is to with the trussing see it's all calculated right it's not that I have put this light here for this reason no it is all very much calculated on a software that we commonly use called vyg um to calculate the load like of all these lights you're talking about one Sharpie can weigh up to 70 kilos but if you have you know if you have 10 Sharpies in one line um that's 700 kilos so we are Reaching a capacity of 1 ton any at any given point

in time my trust would weigh between 1.5 tons to 16 tons depending on the total number of lights and sound and Equipment I'm using because you also understand uh a truss also has weight right but so lights have weight sound has weight cables have weight all the clamps have weight so all this weight has to be categorically measured understood and and you know then placed as per the Layout as per the computer uh guided AI information that we get that the light and balancing of this weight on this entire system would be best if I

put the light on this point or if I put the light on this point then I have equal distribution of weight over this entire grid thrust which is also a box thrust with thrust beams and so forth so you get where the connection is happening right now through everything that I've explained um crucial crucial thing yes y Uh I just want you to understand these tress are also used to uh balance the decor weight of you know some U sometimes yes sometimes during a wedding function yes it is definitely used to balance Decor weight as

well but you know see at the end of the day it's you have to combine everything so this was I mean though this session is mainly about a technical session but yes when it comes to Tres you know you have to be in line with your decoration team you Have to be in line with your sound team your your light team your uh your any other team your LED team who is going to be using the trusses to hook up anything we LED lights decoration because all that is weight all that has to be calculated

so going back to my story in Delhi a couple of years ago there was an event that was scheduled to happen it was a fashion show event I think people in Delhi if you or wherever you guys are if you have read about it or not um what Happened was during the day of a performance everything was ready the stage was ready the trust was ready the lights were ready sound was ready and they were going through their rehearsals um three models were on stage along with a a a secondary model team on the back

and you had three models in the front of the stage right assume if they were standing here they were under this trust choosing the right vendor for the trust is so so important because today In today's market you get trusses that's made of uh Chinese material which is really unsturdy today we constantly use certified trusses which is made of aluminium and you know as is uh is quality checked quality controlled and it has comes with a certification what happened in Delhi was during their performance in their rehearsal they were nicely walking on stage I don't

um unfortunately the load calculation was Wrong and the trust from the center broke and unfortunately that trust fell on the model and on all the three models two of them were hospitalized one was one one of the hospitalized was was really in serious condition and the main one that was under the cross unfortunately died on the spot so it was a really bad situation in RI that happened and we were all under the r by the government of India that's why today I mean since I mean I've Always taken a precaution in my pressing plans

especially when it comes to the load of this TR and you know if it cannot happen we have to be the bad ones in the in the market or in the group on the team to say I'm sorry guys this cannot happen because of the weight issue for example in wow we had that we had aial artists who wanted to do some aerial performances using the trust but unfortunately because of the weight Cal culation we had to say no to them and Though it is you know it hurts us as well to say no to

any artist who wants to perform and do their best for any event like I'm sure everybody does but sometimes safety really outweighs the importance of the performance on the floor and this lesson and this experience in Delhi and the stories I've heard because I've had my own team on ground I've had lots of friends there and in Delhi who have conveyed all this information to me about how this Situation went down and I honestly never wanted to repeat at any other event for anybody else so this is something that that's why I took up I

I did the technical specification in trussing and I learned about trussing I learned about weight calculation only to safeguard my event from anything that happens because today as you know in the Indian market in the Indian government you know if if anything goes wrong on the side it is Okay okay I think we are okay now um so um yeah and the government of India states that you know if it is your fault you are the first one to be picked up by any any kind of authority so you know you always want to be

safe you never want a bad remark on your name especially when it talk to this still today the the event guy is still under under radar and I know the event person as well so it's really sad for him he lost all his business which was really Sad um so yeah so like like you mentioned that we should be very sure about the vendor whether he's good or not how do we make how do we make out whether that person is really good or not so see you know when when you ask for these for

these reports like you know um whenever I like I've used I've used a very big I mean I've used multiple multiple agencies in India multiple multiple vendors but vendors who will say that hey you know what CLI I'm going to give you a layout of how the trust is going to look for example you know this is a layout this is a computer generated image of a layout it's just the basic layout because at the end of the day the computer will show me this and if if anybody presents this to me I know that

they've done their homework you know I know that there is a load calculation that has been done I know that there's a computer proof printed in front of me that shows Me I have this from this vendor who has presented this to me who has done his calculation and not only that but the vendor also certifies that you know they have cross reference cross check you can have multiple safety channels in this by saying that you know I want it signed and stamped by your company I want it printed and thing I want a certificate

to be structurally uh confirmed to standards these these these things are readily available with companies that do This on a regular basis you know so that's how you'll identify who has what um sir I have a question yeah um so basically if we are of course working in collaboration with the technical team who will be providing us all the trusses and the lights uh if we have to still make a rough calculation on our own just to have additional you know layer of security check that you know comparing the decor and the lights uh so

from our event designer or even planner's point Of view what calculations we can use or is there any application we can follow for that so so usually I mean that ideally is no application it's just basic math that youd have to utilize but this would require you to communicate with all your vendors for example when I when when I do this I know that there is a backdrop coming on my trust I know that there is an LED coming on my trust I know there is lights and I know there is sound what I'll do

is I'll take a Piece of pen and paper I will add all those details like Deco light sound rust Etc plus cables plus this plus this and then I will get the a number for example here in this oval trust that you're seeing so this is an oval shaped trust and a circular trust but right now you're looking at 1 2 3 four all right the first four lights right I know that this one light weighs this kilo for example 50 kilos right now let's say 100 K but I'm adding I'm adding 10 lights to

It so I know that okay my total light is a 1,00,000 kilos which is one time right subsequently I'd make another column for my sound subsequently I'd make another column for my lights I mean for my LED and for my Deo now that's how You' have to understand sometimes you have to average it for example if things you don't know for for the decod element like a decco backdrop if your vendor is telling you okay it's weighing maybe 200 kilos take a higher side okay it's Weighing 250 kilos always take a buffer when it comes

to these things so that you can always understand that hey I'm within my venue capacity of 15 Tons I am within my venue capacity of 10 T oh no I am out of my venue capacity by 20 tons or by 10 tons or by 5 tons you know that way you will understand your own self and the more you get into it now the more you will you know understand this on the ground automatically like today I mean after so many years of me doing This today I can immediately look at a light count how

many lights are there calculate in my own head that F that you know great I have I have 10 pieces of this I know 10 pieces will is weighing 70 kilos but I will take it on the higher side I know each one is wearing 100 kilos done I know what my lighting lighting weight is you know but this is a habit that you would you would have to perform and um having you as an event manager or an you know it's difficult For you to get into the details but honestly during those free times

I don't like to just sit around though I'm extremely tired after all arents and I'm sure you guys are but I do like to go and refresh my own mindset about hey let me go and calculate this let me go and do that it keeps your own activity in the event you know you you you yourself are like hey okay I've done something great at my event today I've learned something new till today I'm 40 years Old I'm still learning something new every day uh understanding the tech Rider I as I said I'm um again

it's just uh how I explain to you in like for example now this is an Tech rider for the lighting console for his lighting for Sono nigam's lighting show and and he tells you what kind of lights that he wants um what kind how many kind of quantities he wants and even looking at this right now you know I know a point BSW is is 34 quantity I know that this light weighs 30 kilos I know that if I multiply by 34 I know what weight I'm looking at so this is like how you can

already pre-calculate your uh your uh your weight uh requirements for when you before you even reach on the ground and of course then he give then the lighting designer of Sonu Nigam has given me some notes that he wants you know on FOH on the front of house he wants a scaffolding of a height of 20 fet he Wants bright lamps on it and on the console he wants a full size console no CH see again see as I mentioned no Chinese console very clear crystal clot mention so even the artists and the wrer and

the technical teams understand that India is a market you know where you get fig products and it really affects the outcome of your show and the satisfaction of your artists as well and with people like and with these big people like Sonu Nigam and and badsha And and all these famous guys you can't mess up on their technical rider I've had shows where I've had bought new equipment for that show because I could not provide them with any other equipment or any other brand and that's a cost to you right but ultimately the cost has

to be born you you're you're you have taken up the challenge to do the event you have to do the event this is what you see um going forward and from a technical perspective this is A grid layout of of how my stage would look with my trust with my lights right here uh it shows you like what it gives you the designer has given me a legend of what my light look like Zoom the screen sir because we want to see the details sorry sorry could you please Zoom the details Zoom yeah yeah so

this is a light plot that comes in and you know this light plot says that here you go so this is the concert name it's I mean this is the artist name The the event we're doing it's a live and concert event um this is one event I have already done by the way light designing this is the light design so the name of the light design is the loes good friend good friend he's drawn this diagram and you know those little details that you see this is the cell phone number in case you want

to contact him is G press and of course the disclaimer that every Light Designer adds by saying you know I'm not Responsible blah blah blah blah this comes in as a thing on the right hand side you see the different kind of lights that he's used so if you see the diagram you see that there is a particular icon for a light so he's telling you that this icon is this light this icon is that light and of course your trusses as you see and this shows you that there is a box thruss all with

support legs here I'll have my Sound this is my stage which the black columns and these are all my lighting which is hanging from the trust with my trust beings going left to take the entire weight of this structure from a top perspective um again just uh this would be I mean if you see a if you see a document without the trust that means that the designer wants you to place these lights on the stage floor so you see this is a no trust layout but he's Put me lights here he's put RGB battern

so I see the battern 1 2 3 4 five six he's put six batter here six batter here he's given me lights here lights here so these are all Flo Flor layout designs basically uh special effects uh as I mentioned over here just one minute uh want you to understand how do you calculate the average weight a trust can bear um so each trust section when when buil you have Different sections of trust let me just go back to it so you have different sections of trust notice this is a thicker trust as opposed to

this bus right uh the you these are called sections um basically you have a 300 mm by 300 mm or you have a 400 MM by 400 MM basically these are uh specification to the trust so you have bigger trusses or wider trusses that are built in such a way what's more important is if I one second let me yeah here I'll explain This here so you see these angles going up down up down up down this is also so important where the weld is happening because at the end of the day this is what

is Distributing the weight over this entire line right and it's all over the truss it's all four corners if you've seen a truss it's all foursided only because you know you it has to distribute the weight using these angles and that's what you see here and what happens is that right now you have Different kinds of trusses as you see this is the wider truss as opposed to this truss which is a less wider truss which means that the more wider it is the more heavier it is the more sturdy it is the more stronger

it is the more weight I can take on but again each trust when built together as a unit so if if this one trust can take the load of 10 tons or let's say one ton I add another trust I'm adding one more ton I'm adding Another trust I'm adding one more ton but let's say right now if I've added five five levels of five beams here that means that can go up to five tons but my counter weight which is the up and down motion also should have that capacity to take this five tons

plus the weight of the truss which consider that the weight of the truss is one ton extra so we go at six tons so these angles here these supporting here has to take the weight of six tons on this bar plus 6 tons on This bar plus six tons on this bar so that's six and 12 and 18 so whatever 18 18 20 tons this entire structure has to take so very calculative in terms of this different plus sections can take different weight capacities and answers the question so there was one more ter from uh

so there was one more term what do you mean by a fixture file fixture oh fixure file fixture File yeah it was there in the son Nigam oh fixture file is basically basically what some artists like or what some light designers used like to call these these are pictures as we know right anything in our light is in our home is also called a fixture like a light like a lamp is called a fixture or wall lamp is called a fixture so they normally refer it to as fixtures so this is this is what called

uh this is fixture plot basically so It's a light plot just another word for light um sir yeah hi uh if we come back to the uh weight that a trust can hold so the contractor from whom we are hiring or the trust yeah he must have known like right that he knows exactly what a trust can hold how much he can not necessarily not necessarily usually this work is done by a trust team only um because the trust team knows exactly using their software because this software busy wig is not available With everybody it's

usually used by a Trust Company um such as stard Dimension who I who we know who we use who calculate everything so what happens is that when you get involved in this kind of things you have to coordinate with your deor get the information from him if if the deor person has not spoken to your trust team already you know and you kind of have to be very on top of it because usually when everybody's working Sometimes the communication is not been passed to the right person to the right team member in order to calculate

this these details so this really is something so important that you guys should uh should at least have somebody who knows what they're doing about it and and expect them to take the lead on everything or if it is something that you guys want to study then please by all means do a course in this subject and um and and you know you can take it Forward India has a very lacking uh thing about about this kind of specialization there are very few people in India who I know who do who do this kind of

structural uh certification courses um usually structural certification courses were only done in the in the real estate industry where you know where Builders are building and they need structural stability people to assign and cod but today's world now the Event Market is also changing we are also becoming a little bit more certified and ioso certified companies who are saying that hey you know what no we are also going to do a safe event we have the quality we have the checks we have everything in place to do it so yeah it's super important that you

guys get everybody together on this topic if they're not already speaking to each other about it special effects I've explained I'll show You the different kinds of effects so these are your fire fire pits um basically I'm sure you've seen them as an IPL finishers and and all kind of any kind of conerts you've seen these Shin Flames they're called Shin so they can do a shoot up of One Flame they can do a multi multi flame projection it's all basically Aesthetics to increase your visual uh space here you have this sparklers you know those

they are actually very friendly they're not like Your sparklers that you have during Diwali sessions or anything these are actually cold like if you put your hand on it you don't get burned it's it's called a cold pyro um again different kinds of ways of using it you can use it from top down to to throw up you can use it from Top uh sorry down up and top down to throw from top to down you can have a rainfall effect you can have a spiral effect all different ways of playing with this different equipments

Also work in this excuse me down cve yeah is a down yeah it's it's basically the the equipment is is hung on my trust and uh I'm firing it and it just Scrolls downwards basically is that your question just it ah yeah so one question here yeah so these cold pyros is it harmful for the people anyway like since No no no no it's completely cold it's basically a big black machine and it comes as there's a little packet of uh thing that we add into the into this machine and it's completely clear there's no

there's no problem about it it's I put my hand in it it doesn't burn anything okay sir thank you that's why it's that's why it's called a cold pyro hot pyro is when You' actually have what we have during the that's called a hot Pyro because that's that's heat it Generates Heat this doesn't generate any heat and the sparkle also is just a chemical reaction it's nothing nothing U nothing hot okay uh CO2 um another thing that you've seen at weddings and concerts it's basically yeah uh but the cold pyos are now banned in the

Banquets and hotels like most of yeah because because they create some kind of smoke you know so again not all Banquets have have have banned it there are some that have Banned it I used cold pyos uh and many closed Banquets as well it all depends from venue to venue to be honest with you it's the venue who tells it sometimes the venue allows you sometimes the venue doesn't allow you all depends okay so CO2 guns basically you know the guns that shoot uh these these these things out uh it's this gas uh very important

that I never use this gas when when a when there is a family or baby involved because at the End of the day it is CO2 uh it is a gas it can affect the breathing of a child especially if the child is an infant or let's say below the age of five so I tend not to use this very commonly but mostly EDM Concepts and open air we we are okay with it because there's oxygen in the atmosphere so it's fine weddings and stuff we usually give it to the bride and groom only for

that one two shots or four shots that they need so that you know there's some gram to it But honestly it's something that I try and avoid indoors especially uh low fog very cool feature it's used used with dry ice if everybody knows what dry ice is and if everybody has played with dry Icees basically if you take dry ice and put some water and it it creates fog so we have big machines that use the same technology just put dry ice and we put water and creates this low fog uh creates that really wonderful

effect for a wedding or For a theater effect or you know kind of a performance so really cool stuff the only thing with low fog and carpet is a very uh it's a it's a LoveHate relationship between the carpet and the fog because it's it's technically it's ice so when the ice When the Smoke kind of Fades away you see little bit layers of ice that are formed on the carpet but it eventually evaporates because it's it's a gas at the end of the day but it's it's really Offputting to see white marks on a

black carpet especially at in the end um confetti I'm sure everybody has played with a handheld confetti where you turn it around or you've thrown it in the air um so these are big machines cannons that we have we call them so we have confettis that can do these kind of gold shimmers or streamers or silver shimmers or colored confetti and today to's world now we use biod degradable ones basically paper confetti earlier They used to be plastic which was really harmful and so not user friendly and environment friendly that we finally change to paper

and and biodegradable Plastics um so that's really a good thing because this really once it once you fire it it goes everywhere there's no stopping it smoke cannons which is really cool this came out came out very uh couple of years ago um basically because we it's for the Day scenes um be a firework for The day scam so if you've not played with smoke Cannon I suggest you go to an event and play with a smoke Cannon it's really fun I've done it multiple times but uh yeah be careful of your clothes that's all

I can say the smoke is the powder that eliminates out from it can get onto your clothes and and screw up everything else I've had white that turn pink but really fun smoke cannons bubble machines uh snow machines as you know U Same again creating your sfx in within your Venue U um aels pyrotechnic display this are what we call fire firework displays on a very large scale um completely separate technical team solely who understands how fireworks work um I don't even get involved in fireworks I leave it to the best of the best uh

only because you're playing with fire and as we all know as children playing with fire can lead you into something that's really Disasterous yeah I've had I've seen people on the ground who do this who work in the industry who have no hand because they've played with this so badly that they' b off their hand but they're still doing this job really I applaud our Indian people anyways um I have a question yes um so basically uh when we talk about smoke bombs and you know the the the Pyro designs um so we see that

okay there's some wedding that happened on Instagram and then you know it's something new like one of those the colors that fly around you know the when jamala happens like this was very popular two years ago and now everyone is doing it so my my concern is like sometimes we get to see things when it has become common like you know and we are not the first adopters of a new trend how can we you know be ahead of game like how can we be the innovators or how how can we try to you know

be Quick in that game and not just you know be at the end tale where everything has become so common now so honestly this is all up to your creative mindset uh there are many people in the world who do event management there are many people in the world who have equipment at their disposal who do who create some amazing things it's all about you and your creative mindset how to do it I remember when especially this laser and Haze and Laser and snow came Out you know it came out I think about a year

and a half ago basically it's all trial and error right you have to you have to be creative enough to understand what fits with what uh equipment for example um here a laser guy realized that hey if I have a snow machine and a laser light creating a radial around her you know I can create a snow effect or I can create a haze effect using a St machine and a laser or a light whichever you know but it's all up to you it's Your creative aspect I my honest opinion is go through a bunch

of designs go look at a bunch of concerts go on YouTube go and see what people are doing and automatically you'll create your own creative effort effort on how You' feel that you'd want to create something but remember something know as as you are here to learn and and execute events there are already a thousand people behind you as well or the side of you who are doing exactly the same thing So it's a very competitive market when it comes to creativity but unless and until you put yourself in those in those positions then only

are you going to understand how and why things work the way they do I have a small question yes please yes yes so this uh kind of laser KN it's looking like a spotlight it is so this this is the spotlight what you see on the left what you see you see the Rays you ex good Good catch good eye is exactly a spotlight it is a Sharpie that has been created on the ground using this effect the left one is a laser light because you don't you see a it's it's clear right it's it's

one beam that's why that's why it looks like there is a complete sess to it but here the effect is yeah so you understood that point so that's why this uh looks like that and this looks like this because of the beam this is a light a Focal light kind of a simple simple thing as a laser light as well but a different version um and creates that that effect of this beam this one very clear okay but you can do with both like I said it it all depends on your creativity uh time for

questions and discussion right is this the end of the slide what could be sir what could be uh sir what could be uh the rent of this SL laser and Haze light for Depends so like I' I've had so I've had a Chinese product uh Chinese product laser light which costed me 25,000 rupees for rental per day with with a with an operator but I've had the best of the best which comes from Germany called Quant K KV NT uh one of the best designers of laser lights in the world currently and they have optic

lasers of maybe 60 KW which basically so much power that your laser can be seen 10 km away from where your Laser is and 10 kilm of distance to throw a laser light is a huge deal so yeah and those Quant lasers are upwards of 45,000 to 50,000 per laser light you know so it all depends on the quality that you're getting and the brand is there is there any specific name of the previous slide you showed in the last slide that that this one yeah so you the for the laser itself uh I think

uh uh the both of the light uh in my opinion both of the Lights are same only the the haze and in this light the haze effect is there and in this the snow effect is there so this one they would have used a Martin a Martin light uh a Martin or a wiper light which is from robe Industries and here they would have used a a laser but it doesn't look like it's a font laser so I couldn't tell you which which brand that they have but here this one definitely looks like a Martin

robe light or one of those one of those light Features but again unless until we see the inventory we can't really tell which one is which you know actually uh I have seen this kind of a light in uh the event uh uh if if it's allowable I I can I will share my screen and show yeah yeah please please by all means uh I don't know uh I don't have the sharing rights to this thing so if you if you if anybody does it yeah yeah I can I have a question uh yeah so

Previous slide there was a circle has been created because uh like because of that yeah because of that side yeah this is the laser light with no with no effect and low fog just star effect there very star stars are also coming that's the snow that's the snow machine that's throwing snow into the air okay this is a haze sorry laser light laser light yeah it's a laser light and it's a low fog so the special effects here is they have a Laser light on top um with the snow machine also on top to throw

that effect what you're seeing the sparkling and they have a low fog which is your dry ice machine which which is creating that low fog low fog effect okay thank you so three three things are there yeah so three things are there okay yeah so you can again you this is how I I learned also Myself by looking at videos understanding how things are functioning and of course of course having access to A lot of technical inventory which I always have access to uh helps me play around with a lot of things thank you sir

thank you oh most welcome so I have a question s sorry I just complete so uh so that previous slide um there's a uh Circle has been created it's is it because of that uh laser light or there is a special effect we have no it's because of the programming that my my laser engineer has done on this on the mix System on the on the system so it's again a light uh effects correct so there are two light effects yes there are two light effects one is the one is the light itself but the

guy who has done yeah but but the programmer my programmer my my engineer has the one who has created that Circle that cirle okay yeah hello [Music] so yeah yeah I'm listening go ahead yes Uh I have a question uh so uh these are all like I understand you have explained on a bigger like a concert or something of a music thing but if we want to let's say simply design a s stage maybe 16 ft by 12 ft so what kind of trust we can what kind of trust should how should we decide he

what size the trust should be how many lights should be there like a very on a small scale because uh this is a very bigger scale which we are talking about so I just want to understand Okay so so on the small scale for example if I'm using a scale size of let's assume 20 ft by 16t very small stage or you want to go smaller than that CH we'll go we'll go with a 10 ft which is really nothing and we'll go oh sorry no 10 ft plant we can't even put a trust also

on 10 ft so 20 ft uh so 20 ft stage by 10 ft okay uh a nice good stage size for maybe uh two people to four people on stage very acoustic band setup you Would need a truss of 300 mm x 300 mm first and foremost you have to understand your trusses um and of course at the end of the day you can only understand what type of trust uh section to use first you understanding what is your purpose of it right so if you have a gold post trust which is on the back

to hang your backdrop your stage backdrop right also on the stage backdrop you would have your lights and all these other things But again it's a very small setup so on a very small setup like a 20x10 I'm not going to go through the trouble of calculating on a very large scale which is what I explained earlier I'm just going to go with okay on this 20 fet I know in my 20 ft range I am going to put an equal number of lights so I'll put six on one side I'll put six on one

side so I have 12 lights total and 12 lights I will play with on the stage with my backdrop and whatever It is and then my forward my front of house lights also I will make I will put a 20 ft trust and 20 ft trust I'll do the same thing I will replicate I will put maybe 12 lights or I'll put eight lights or whatever it is but on a very small scale you don't have to worry because the trust itself is made for those kind of things you know but of course having having

knowledge about the weight also really does play a big difference but it's not something so to Be worried about is there any um website or any catalog where we can study more about the sizes of the or maybe there's rule what distance should two lights have in between them Center to Center what is the distance how do we no so there's there's really no thumb room about placement of Lights as well um what we what usually happens with the Light Designer is the Light Designer decides that okay I want to put 50 lights on this

system and automatically he on his system he will calculate you know the positions and the distances of each light and not necessarily that I have to have a rule of thumb when it comes to light placement but it would it would rather be good if I had one but usually they don't look at it they're like okay you know what the more important fact is not my placement of light the more important fact is how my stage is going to look With those lights and when you're when you're when the audience is always from the

front of stage you know you never see a clear straight line where you see that hey I have two lights which is equally distant from each other because there are so many lights in process you hard to pinpoint which is the middle section of what section so usually goes to the usually goes to the Light Designer who designs The light system and the size of the trust where can we study more about that um that I I can tell you honestly just go go to Google and search for trusting and you'll you'll honestly that's your

best tool BET right now there are many companies who manufacture trust for example in India today I'm manufacturing my own Tres with giant trust they are a company located on the outskirts of Delhi they I they are a fully International compliance ISO certified trust Manufacturing Company in India um so and they export their own trusses around the world so imagine India also reached that level where we are creating and Manufacturing our own kind of trust system with compliance reports and international compliance reports not just uh government or state government so um just go online my

honest request uh understand what trussing is uh but again like I said it's great if you guys Know about it if you're specializing in that kind of area in the event industry then even better for you to go through it but if you're really just being an event manager just take the basics understand which section is what and you can go on and move on unless you have the time to go and study about it okay so I have two questions yes um can you tell us more about uh Mi bars and what is the

full form of Mi yeah good question on Mi bars let me Show you hold on okay um how can I share the yeah um just uh yeah I'll just throw this video on there videos okay hold up can everybody see that is everybody watching the video I hope so no not to hold on hold on hold on hold on I think because it's being shifted on me yeah yeah that's visible oh should See there we go everybody watching that yes yes sir yes okay so what Mi bars are stated it means uh so mi means

millimeters you know basically light diodes are placed within millimeters of each other to on and created on uh let's say on a circuit board and each circuit board has these kind of cables in wires which I'm showing you and these and these plug points basically what happens is an MI bar connects so you have different sizes of Mi bars which is a 1 Meter long Mi bar or a half a meter long Mi bar uh that's how that's how so 3 ft or 1 and a2t but in mi bars we go with meters because we

are in mm calc of the Mi which is the the LED diode which you're seeing this is called an LED diode right each of them so they form to make up an MI bar and they need a power supply like that to create this kind of Vex and miars are something cool that you can Create a lot of different kinds of uh content on it uh you have like you know different ways of hooking it up different ways of functioning it together um but the only thing is that they all have to be interconnected with

each other you know it's a whole programming system that has to happen that you can create wonderful visual spectacles like this uh so these are what are called Mi bars so one question yeah so Suppose There is a defect in one of the Mi bars so will it all get disconnected at the same time uh no one of the diode will be off um but which will need to be replaced if you're let's say within 10 ft of the of the activity for example uh right now I'm standing let's say maybe 8 feet to 10

ft away from this light right and if this one diode was to go off I would notice it correct but if it is on a larger scale which is for example like these You know like this I would not notice it so that's why as a rule of th we always have a backup uh Mi IBA uh system with us um each of these individual ones so if there's a 100 count I usually call for 120 because I know that in some of them I would I would need 20 spare which I have to disconnect

and connect the better one to okay sir thank you so that's Mi bars so are there any types in mi bars no one standard one standard different Kinds of companies that make them uh but Mi bar is just one one uh one thing it's one type of lighting there are different kinds in the market um which is you know more advancements in technology means uh smaller diodes uh more cleaner look more better finish but you notice these cables that are going around you know it's always there because an MI one Mi has to be connected

to the next has to be connected to the next they have to form a Series it has to go the one done at the uh the one which was done at vow awards for the stage it was a circular one yeah so how how was it done oh so um we had to individually space out each and every single one of them around the periphery of this border uh we had to drill holes into the board to put these plug connections behind the board so you that you didn't see the plug connections and whatever plug

connections were on top were already hidden because it was Already dark and each one we we individually measured and and hooked up one by one by one by one by one it took us 6 hours to finish all three okay all right and one more question are there any limitations for projection mapping like there are what kind of surfaces so so usually you know on any black surface a projection mapping does not work uh we need a light surface and usually what happens on buildings Especially in the night it works out very well because there

is a darkness in the air and uh we turn off all the periphery lights so we can do that but the problem with projection is you can't have projections and led screens together you can't have projections and bright lights together because then your content of the projection because I understand a projector is always going to be limited with its with its brightness its contrast because that's What a projector is right it's projecting something so the further you throw the projection the more uh let's say the distance the width the field the field of your throw

becomes more uh grainy becomes like fuzzy so that's when you need a higher powered projector so you have you know when you when you hear of projectors you'll hear people saying you know 10,000 lumens 25,000 lumens 35,000 lumens basically a lumen is the camera lens that is attached to the Projector box that camera lens is what makes that projector it can be 45,000 lumens 50,000 lumens 880,000 lumens uh and what lumens means is the field of throw like how many more pixels am I throwing into the entire uh Board of pixels so is that a

replacement to an LED it's not a replacement to an LED it's another it's not definitely not a replacement because LEDs can't you know LED you can't bend into a building uh Like like if you have a if you have a curve in a building I can't bend my led into the building but I can bend a projecting image because of life okay and uh what is the name of the company that you mentioned for the trust manufacturer giant trust India I'm right right now making truss is worth 90 lakhs trussing is cancel uh what is

the average cost of a Projection mapping for any depends on the size of the building or if you're doing projection mapping on the building it depends on the size of the building usually uh you break it up because your technicals would come up to maybe assumingly one lakh per day with with the uh or could be more I'm just gauging at a number here um but if you're if you're if you're looking at I mean a projection is not done only over one day right you you go through a 3-day Period or a 7day period

so you're roughly looking at about maybe what 20 lakhs 25 lakhs for the whole thing which is includes your content making because you can't just have projection without content sir are there uh uh sir are there any good projection companies uh in Delhi there are a bunch the for projection yeah pration mapping yeah oh yeah there's so many there's so many okay EV there's event Network there is e Factor there there there's lots of companies lots of you just have to search who's doing what in what field in okay okay yeah I see it yeah

continue hi uh so I wanted to ask that since we're discussing about a lot of these lights and all of it I wanted to understand how do we decide on the electricity supply for such a set up good point power was not going to be in part of this discussion power was going to be In the next technical conversation but you brought it I can no no no no let's do it it's a good point it's fresh on everybody's mind for the next point so power is something that's so crucial to any event whether it

be you're using house power or you're using external power such as generators um so what happens with how to calculate power is Rule of Thum is we never mix uh all our technicals on one Generator I'd have a light generator only for lights I'd have a sound generator only for sound I'd have a LED generator only for LED and I'd have an sfx generator only for sfx and then on my other venue lighting I'd have another generator only for v liting um the power that is required for lights especially is all calculated for example like

I said right if I'm if I have 10 Sharpies I know 10 Sharpies are going to weigh this much simultaneously I know one Shar Is going to take this much amount of power which is 2 kilow or 5 kilow right now I have 10 of them so it's going to be 50 kilow right just for that but I can't only consider that I have to consider my other lighting also which has other specifications and other power requirements like for example an MI bar would have would be using 2 kilow of Power but if I have

50 of them and that's already uh 100 Kow right there so power is something that you also can Calculate but honestly leave it up to the questions till today I calculate power and I still get it wrong because it's such a touchy subject um because each generator has different kinds of outputs right on a generator also you have different kind of outputs the the generator man pushes the button he can give you a 250 kilow output or he presses another button he can give you a lower output also so it's all a very synchronized marriage

if I was to say Between all the technicals and the power and what I use do is I have a power contractor with me an electrician with me who is so responsibility and only responsibility for any event is to be behind the power and that's my rule of comp I myself don't go into the power though I have an understanding of my power requirements on site and I know what voltages I'm looking at I know that God forbid if anything goes wrong at any event I know where to go and look uh When there is

a blackout of power that happens um but honestly I I physically don't even go and touch the Buton you know because I'm I I have a fight of fear as well I mean though that you would not ever ever get shocked from anyone of those but why risk will out when you have a professional standing by your side so might as well leave it to the professionals when it comes to these power things but yes you can calculate by gauging at the equipment like your Sound how many towers of sound you're using calculate that add

it into an Excel list you know that this one weighs this much and this one's power is this much automatically in the same sheet will build a power sheet and you will build a uh weight sheet also a weight calculation got it thank you no problem so for any particular event do if we have an XY Z number of guests coming how do we calculate uh how many number of bases and tops do we require Like for example if we have 500 and if we have thousand what what is the difference so the difference would

be the throw I mean it's not the difference of the crowd right it's it's part and parcel of your of your sound uh I mean your sound itself your area your Venue um What walls are there what uh what space you have and how much sound you want to throw all these factors come into deciding what kind of quantity of sound equipment that you need at any Venue for example a 20 by 10 stage let that's given it I probably use two bases which is on the floor and I would use um Four Tops which

is two Tops on the left and two Tops on my right but again that's because of my stage being that that that size of 20 x 10 but my venue could be 50 50 by 80 or whatever it is you know you have to understand this is why your found engineer will help you because they will understand that okay to reach this far of the venue I need to Maybe add two extra tops and one EXT two extra bases and all these things but again these are all Tech technical things that once you get into

the flow of sitting with your sound team your light team your your your technical team if I was to say it just gets you better and clearer understanding of how things go I don't know if anybody over here was with me during wow Awards but if you saw it was it was a very patient process of understanding who requires what and uh What area needs attention because every area is important so you you you once you get onto the field and understand this you you'd get a better Clarity in your own head about how to

do these kind of calculations okay sir and are there any situations where we need to do sound proofing and if yes then uh what are the equipments which are used to do that okay so usually with sound proofing very rarely that we get involved in it Because India's rule as you know for any kind of public function Max to Max 10 10 p.m. is what they allow you in any kind of State outdoor venue and if it's an indoor venue it is anywhere between 1:30 2:00 or un until if you really know the government well

enough then you go up to 3 4 5:00 times right but never an outdoor event an outdoor event 10 p.m. 11:00 p.m. Max to Max if you all have been to concerts and outdoor shows it shuts at by 11:00 by 12:00 the guests Have left and by 1:00 the dismantling has started um outdoor definitely you can't control any sound proofing you have to go with what what is the state regulations and government regulations of that particular States for indoor venues what happens is usually if it's a banquet hall banquet hall is already technically soundproof because

of the walls and the position of the hall within the building premises itself so in a hotel in in an event Hall that's Already taken care of but let's say suppose if you have to do soundproofing in a venue that is not there what we do is for what we use I mean one of the most very common things if you guys have seen it is egg paron shell if you've seen the egg carton shell there are these uh recycled cardboard material that is that that that really draws sound to itself and it absorbs the

sound vibration um other things that we use professionally is sound uh sound Insulation material basically they boards um of let's say 4T by 4T it's a rectangular or a square block that comes to us and we kind of just put them uh and build stack by Stack vertical by vertical on the walls to absorb the sound that happens so that's how you soundproof soundproof a room You' either use cardboard a really good cardboard which absorbs sound or You' use a proper sound uh sound required uh uh Instulation material okay uh so does the session have

anything on LED screens no that's in the that's that's for the next chapter is what I told what I've been told that's why when I saw I was like okay yeah it's for the next session okay anything else everybody I hope I have explained everything clearly to you all and uh yeah rule of time going forward guys you guys are on a very learning scape right now absorb Everything that you can um my recommendation to the last group also was the same thing um understand what you can from these sessions because it's what's going to

give you the clarity of what you guys really want to do when it comes to an eventscape right for example today I don't pick up the entire event as a whole why because I don't want to be burdened by that uh um responsibility of running the entire show but instead I have a team there though I am the owner Of my own company but I I like to have teams in place because you know human error is with everybody and respect that to yourself that if you've made a mistake don't worry it's the only way

that we learn as human beings is if we make mistakes otherwise you're never going to learn I've been electrocuted on site countless amount of times till I learned never touch an electrical line get my electrician to do it but because I was always in Hands-On guy I also Wanted to understand how it functions and how it works but over the years I've made my own Fair shares of mistakes which I've learned over the years and you know it's where we have come today so fair is worth learn what you can from these sessions and eventually

specialize in a field like for example specialize in a sound field specialize in a light field specialize is in the Trust Field um don't be on everything because not everybody should be on everything others Than you're going to get 500 phone calls for every single thing would you rather have 500 phone calls for every single thing or 100 phone calls for one single thing I choose 100 phone calls for one single so that's how You' specialize and India lacks these specialization courses these specialized people for today for example I am a specialized person in in

in in all technicals in in venue production and Ong ground crowd coordination and evacuation of let's say Maybe 70,000 people plus I'm a first aid safety officer fire trained officer you know these are certifications that's only going to uplift you guys in in uh in going forward so definitely figure out what it is that you are looking at and find something that interests you and stick to it if it's event management as a whole then by all means take up the whole thing take up the whole cake but if you can't take up the whole

cake take a piece of that cake and enjoy that Piece till the rest of your life till you're ready to take the next piece that's my 10 cents word anything else anybody has any other questions I I don't think so I think everybody has C up and wants to enjoy the rest of their Sunday and uh be chill till Monday um sir I just want to say thank you for providing these details from a very basic level I have been having a very Very non-technical background and at least I know a few terms like of

course I'm not going to specialize in entertainment and technical side but of course the this was important for me to go through so just like I I I think you said that there's another session so yeah looking forward to that one looking forward to that with you no problem anytime thank you so it was really helpful you're most welcome I just hope I just Hope everybody takes uh the learnings and you know implement it in your own way on your grounds on your event grounds only you will come out as the top leader simple thank

you so much sir and uh I've been doing events since last eight years but my brother used to look after the production and I used to look after the management aspect of it and every time these terminologies would come up I would actually switch off and just six Months back he shied to Canada and I had to look after everything so that's when you know it became really overwhelming and your session was very enlightening and very helpful today thank you so much sir most welcome um another piece of like personal personal advice to all you

I I'm going to say young Lings out there because you guys are young Lings to me um rule of thumb that I always follow to my own self even until today and I say this with a heavy heart on an Event side when things are going wrong and if you don't know the things do not panic the one thing is take a deep breath um I've had many people on my own side who have been overwhelmed I've told them to leave the venue Hall go out take a 10-minute breather go smoke a cigarette go have

a drink go do something but just get out of this event space because you're panicking and what happens with panic if you have 50 people in front of you one person is pan Panicking the second person is going to start panicking then likewise the third then the fourth then the fifth he all 50 people are panicked and again as I said earlier in the conversation running around like headless chickens not knowing what to do in life so this is where you know that this and I I have been told this also by a mentor in

my life that you know never panic because if you panic then something goes wrong and you will not be Able to manage how how things should be managed so so yeah one rule just never Panic take things with a level head and breathe so important to breathe yeah so if you can just stay back for five minutes yes sure sir I just want to ask one thing can you suggest a few online courses like because you said India lags these kind of any pages to follow or any people to follow to understand So there is

there is a there is a university which is again it's not a promotion of this University or or courses um I would honestly tell you uh one again I'm I'm sure if everybody Googles it you could uh University so it's where I have done some of my courses is basically called I'll put this on the group itself it's a really cool Website teaches you a lot it's taught me a lot I'm still learning from this website as well some of the courses are free some of them are paid it's all up to you on how

you want to you want to plan plan yourself and uh yeah just just read about it and of course uh within our own industry we have a lot of people who are doing um a lot of uh how would I say podcasts podcasts also help a lot in learning and understanding everything a Lot of free time is there on everybody's hand you know so especially you know when you when you have that free time you can always just go on to aite take your phone take your iPad take your computer whatever you have in front

of you and just kind of read reading is what takes you takes your understanding a long way thank you sir you're welcome and again what I've sent you guys right now is you know um a little Bit indepth University they deal with architecture they deal with Landscaping they deal with interior designing and and the very big one is the entertainment industry and if you really go through and click on the entertainment tab you'll really find a bunch of things that you know you can study about learn about and what else that you'd be learning from

this from the from the wedding school and if you inate that kind of learnings you guys Will only just you know uh evolve in your learning going forward so I have a question we previously worked with a few artists who have actually mentioned that they would get their own Tech Rider even though we had the requirements ready with us but they insisted on having their own so uh is there an issue with uh how do I put it um with the tuning no why do they insist on that so what usually happens is Maybe the

artist has a deal with the Technical person uh or his technical team in order in order for his technical rider to come through and he has a kind of a faith and trust on his technical team that you know they can execute the event how they know and how they want usually also it is because maybe the artist wants to use only those instruments which he has used in the past and he doesn't want any other instruments that's provided by any other vendor so usually that happens on sites And if if it is there we

kind of let them take the lead and like okay no problem we have though we have our own person on ground we also have your person who would like to do it so by all means it's all up to that it's not a problem as such it's just that you know sometimes the artist has faith in their own technical team rather than having a faith in the technical team who you have hired for example so for uh like the examples that You gave involv big structures so for starters if we are doing a doing small

setups how to understand what kind of trusting would be there what what sizes to use obviously we leave it talk to professionals but like my first experience doing a wedding uh because I just uh I have been in the industry for a long time but for starters how to choose the right people if they U because sometimes the budget is also constraint how to understand how do we Have a clearer understanding of what kind of trusting should be used so unless until you so unless and until you do your own homework which is studying material

online about trusses about weights about all these things then only will you be able to understand what would be a technical requirement when it comes to Tres for any other event see I can um I can tell you exactly what the trusses are what sizes what specification but unless and that you go Feel see touch you know then then only will you actually get an understanding of what kind of trust needs to be used where by standard protocol everywhere any event any small event you use a 300 by 300 trust uh basically it's a 300

mm by 300 mm by 300 so the entire square is that right that square block that you see so that's what we call a 300 by 3 400 by 400 is a little bit bigger 600 is there 800 is there you know so it all depends but by Common rule of thumb 300 Is good enough for very small scale event which is happening in a banet hall but unless and until you go and do your own homework about and and study your material I think then only You' have a better clearer understanding of how it's

supposed to function thank you sir you're welcome and as per selecting the trust again it all depends on how what your inventory is what your light inventory is what your sound is what your decoration is What what you're doing it all depends on that any more questions guys H if nobody has any more questions then yes I will let everybody go and have a good weekend or whatever is left of their Sunday it is already 1:20 thank you have day you bye everybody take care so much okay am I needed for anything else wedding School
