TwitchCon Europe 2019

TwitchCon Europe 2019

 

This year StageHands had the privilege of working at the first ever TwitchCon held outside of the US. Twitch is a streaming service that mainly broadcasts players as they give commentary while playing video games. This can range from speed runs of classics like Super Mario to walkthroughs of the newest game releases. Hosting over 2 million individual streamers monthly, Twitch is one of the most popular video streaming services in North America.

 

While there our crews helped to set up the displays for an exhibition at this event. Booths, audio, and lighting all needed to be set up. But most importantly dozens of delicate computers, screens and other electrical equipment needed to be set up. Thankfully all of our crew members have hundreds of hours working with such electrical equipment and with minimal direction set up was a breeze.

 

Although there is always hard work involved in events like these it can also be a lot of fun. Seeing an area go from completely empty to having an amazing display with unique and impressive designs and decorations is very satisfying. And knowing you helped to create such a thing is a very fulfilling feeling.

 

If you are planning on participating in similar events StageHands would be more than happy to provide you with any crew support you may need. From lighting and sound, to stage and rigging set up, and much more StageHands has the people you need in order to make your next event happen.

Information Booth in Duisburg City

StageHands was happy to provide services in setting up for a political party’s information booth in Duisburg recently.

 

The event was in Duisburg city center and even considering it was a high pedestrian traffic area all of our crew members know what security measures are necessary in such areas. For this event “genies” were used to lift up a rigging platform to support lighting and sound equipment. We also built a small platform bellow it including carpet.

Stagehands; Also For Precision Jobs, Le Grand Hotel

Stagehands; also for precision jobs,

Paris is full of many proud old buildings with long histories. The Paris International Grand Hotel is one of them. Opened by Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III, it was host to Czars and Kings.  Today it has 470 rooms 72 suites and 2 restaurants and is still one of the most luxurious hotels in Paris. With this in mind, we are proud to be able to provide crews with the skills and discipline necessary to work in these types of environments. Its not all Rock and Roll, in some locations its necessary to be more careful in the areas that you work in, whether it be museums or historic Hotels. Stagehands.net knows the difference.

If you would like to book crews in Paris or other regions for such events, please contact us at: mail@stagehands.net

On-Site Project and Crew Management

A new chapter for Local Crew Services,

We are proud to announce a new chapter in our services. We have recently hired several On-Site Management Specialists; Javier Gonzalez and Jeremy Hodoli at our main offices in Berlin, and Daniel Lewis at our Rhein-Ruhr Area office in Essen!

Now what exactly is an On-Site Manager?

We started with local crews in different areas all over the world. Mainly Stagehands to assist with event equipment setup at concerts and fairs. However, many of our event customers also came from around the world to put on events at various locations. Sometimes they were there for the first time, didn’t speak the local language, and had all sorts of other problems.

Over time, we realized that our crew captains were serving in many cases as on-site problem solvers. Meaning, they knew the locations because they had worked them very often. Also they spoke the language of the customers and the local languages, so they could solve on-site problems as translators or even almost as cultural mediators. Crew Captains even helped to get forgotten equipment on short notice for events. Many of our customers found this service very useful.

From these experiences we raised the best Crew Captains up to the next level and named them what they really are for us: On-Site Managers; experienced, organized, problem-solvers.

 

With this we are pleased to introduce our on-site team. Please feel free to meet our On-Site Managers — On Site.

In the future we will be expanding this service to several other locations.
