"Wake Up For Wishes" Annual Breakfast

We can’t believe that 2018 is in full swing already! As we look back on 2017, one event that stands out is the “Wake Up For Wishes” annual breakfast that we worked on with Make-A-Wish Foundation- the Northeastern California & Northern Nevada Chapter on November 8th in Sacramento, CA!

The purpose of this event is to thank the 2017 donors for making it possible for so many wishes to come true! Our client had tons of video content that they wanted to showcase at this breakfast. The videos were full of clips that showed all that the foundation was able to do with their donation money.

With video being such a huge factor in this event, our client thought that an LED wall would be perfect. They let us know their vision, and they let 3Forty have full reign design wise. We’ve worked together on so many events that they knew we would be able to capture what they envisioned!

As we started working on the visuals of the event- we started to have a big concern with the LED wall. LED walls are very eye-catching, but it is undeniable that they tend to “scream” at you. Which may be a little too stimulating (for the eye) for a morning event. We discussed our concerns with our client and suggested that they consider projection screens because they are visually much calmer for a donor’s ceremony.

Just one week before the event, our client decided to take our suggestion and change from the LED wall to projection screens. Our team had one week to redesign the stage with projection screens! We went back and forth on a few visuals, but in the end, we would say that the event was executed flawlessly! See for yourself- check out our set up time-lapse in the video below:

“THIS”, The Summer Series

 

This summer was jammed packed here at 3Forty Productions. In our first blog, we wanted to highlight an event that lasted all summer long! “THIS” is a summer series block party hosted by LowBrau restaurant in midtown Sacramento, California. The celebration ran from May to September and included a beer garden, various vendors, activations such as the Sacramento Comedy Spot, Resolute Circles Group, PLA Skateboarding, and last but not least…the most EPIC street dance party.

The summer series started out with some key players in the electronic/dance world, the two Brooklyn-based producers/DJs, Bit Funk and JNTHN STEIN, with the local duo Blush and DJ Satapana. Later Vancouver-based DJ and EDM producer Felix Cartal joined the party, with support from San Francisco duo NRVS LVRS and a DJ set by Jon Reyes (of the Sacramento-based hip-hop/electro group DLRN). Other artists that played throughout the concert series were: Little Boots (a popular DJ, songwriter, and producer from London), Luke Million (a master of funky dance beats from Austrailia), and Blu J (an underground DJ/producer duo that is about to shatter the international festival world!

The owner of LowBrau restaurant, Michael Hargis, was one of our first concert/music clients. He gave us a chance to truly maximize their events with a limited budget, and we were able to grow with them as a result! We worked together on what mood his company wanted to produce, the energy they wanted to create, and how they expected to make the audience feel. Just because a budget is small- it does NOT mean that your event will be any less impactful. For example, take a look at the photos below:

 

 

 

As you can see, the technology at this event is created an amazing atmosphere. The gear that we provided was D.A.S Aero20 PA (which provides high-performance sound), a Midas M32 digital mixer, AT Wireless Mics, and Electro-Voice monitors for audio (which provides an extraordinary control over the sound). But what really made the event stand out is our in-house custom fabricated staging decks, the custom designed and fabricated backdrops, and Elation lighting.
