Technical Production Management
Drawing on our extensive network of industry contacts, AF Live provides full technical production management for any sized event.
This typically involves a bespoke mixture of sound, staging, and lighting installations, video, and special effects, backline, management of artist tech riders, sound engineers and noise management. We supply experienced crews to install equipment and manage its efficient removal after the event.
Whether you want us to take your wedding party to the ultimate level, or to manage the technical requirements of a stadium-sized event or festival, you can trust us to make it happen smoothly.
Noise Management and Acoustic Solutions
AF Live can advise on and manage the complex world of legal noise restrictions for any event with amplified sound.
We understand local authority regulation and environmental health and can help to plan and run your event while adhering to legal restrictions.
With our hands on experience of working with sound systems, our approach is always focussed on the success of the event: finding and implementing practical solutions to the issue of noise restrictions.
We can make sure the best levels possible are maintained throughout an event for maximum crowd satisfaction.
We achieve this with a mixture of stage positioning, selecting the right sound system and acoustic treatments.
Creative Set Design
We design and build creative stage sets for festivals and events at our warehouse, from concept through to installation.
Drawing together the best local talent: creative designers, fabricators, scenic painters, metalworkers, carpenters, riggers, video mappers, lighting designers, and special fx experts, we create fully immersive stage sets that take festivals and events to the next level.
“The Afterworld stage was immense at Tokyo World 2015, the crowd went absolutely crazy when it exploded!”
Please contact us for a friendly, informal chat to discuss your requirements.
Our recent creations include
Volkano
We debuted our stage set VOLKANO at Tokyo World festival 2015 to a rapturous response. With state of the art lighting, lasers, smoke, pyrotechnics and video mapping, the stage provided an immersive centrepiece for the festival, getting hugely positive reviews across the board.
VOLKANO is available for hire worldwide; please contact us for more info.
The Blast Stage
Teaming up with Scroller Metal Work, we designed an industrial, post-apocalyptic set for The Blast stage at Tokyo World.
We built and installed the large metal stage structure with additional rocket side-structures, working to a strict budget and timeframe.
Tokyo Hi-Fi
We designed, built and and installed a reggae flavoured stage using reclaimed timber.
