It's a question we get a lot in the Redding and Chico area. "Do you rent slide projectors?"... and sadly, the direct answer is: No, we don't.

There's a much longer and more complicated answer as to why we don't rent them anymore... but it simply comes down to serving our clients and customers in the niche departments we do service... while not taking bread off of the table of other businesses  who do rent slide projectors.

Alternatively, if you're finding that it's too far to travel for your needs... there's always some random deals on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and even Ebay if you take a look.

A lot of times audio visual services for public meetings and public hearings becomes an afterthought. But at 22nd Avenue entertainment Logistics, we really consider your public meeting to be a serious representation of the message you're trying to convey. ​

We were approach by a private insurance group for a virtual meeting solution, which was seamless and trouble free.
 
Before coming to us, they had tried to used their laptops in a zoom meeting space - keeping some board members 6 feet apart - while connecting other board members remotely via Zoom.
 
This approach introduced unreliable results, with bad feedback between microphones (e.g. that high pitched squealing noise) and constant audio problems between the remote participants and the boardroom attendees.

For their boardrooms - the solution 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics provided was a "two-room" conference, which separated local and remote audio - immediately creating clarity and more control over the quality. All participants were able to hear clearly.
 
This was accomplished with high-end switching equipment by Blackmagic Design and Kramer Electronics.
 
For the video aspect, we added a second projection screen to feature additional attendees, as well as act as a dedicated screen for remote presentations. This allowed for participants in the boardroom, to see the presentation clearly from remote virtual presenters.

If you asked us in 2019 if we saw ourselves providing virtual birthdays for the immune compromise or those more significantly at risk of health issues, regarding the pandemic... We never would have guessed that this would be a solution we could help with... And yet here we are. 
 
The pandemic has brought a lot of challenges to many clients and individuals looking to try and create some sense of normalcy, while being locked down or creating events. ​

In this solution, the first order of business was to ensure safety for everyone involved. That meant that all individuals not only were vaccinated, but that the on-site staff from 22nd Avenue was testing daily as well as keeping minimal contact at the studio we designated. 
 
Prior to the grandmother's arrival we configured  the studio with technology allowing two-way communication and the attendance of all those who wish to say hello. We worked with a local caterer and florist to outfit the studio with flowers and cupcakes. In addition to that we also provided a local MC to help wrangle the audience and provide fun interactive games for the party. ​

Once We had prepared the studio and ensured everything had been sanitized regarding surfaces and ionizing the air, our vendors exited and two staff members remained to run the event. 
 
The grandmother was seated at a king's style chair, while select family members came in to spend the time with the grandmother on her left and right. 
 
Leaving the room open virtually, we created a special landing page for friends and family to connect through,  where they could "Walk into" the studio at any time to say hi and give their best wishes. During downtime for those who stayed on the call for the duration of the birthday party, our MC played games and continued to keep the event lively. ​

It's a question we get sometimes... and the answer is really super simple!

But why? There are a lot of services we provide at 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics, from consultations in the hospitality industry to tactical ground support systems for agencies (GIS, Command Centers and so on). When you start to mix it all together, the line-up of what we provide can become very complex.

This is why we let AVE's Audio Visual Rentals do just that! They RENT out Audiovisual equipment, using the large inventory of 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics.

Okay, by why Northern California? Simply put, our companies ethics is to not "Take Bread off of Someone Else's Table". There are a ton of A/V Companies out there. We're thrilled to do business with you! But in most cases AVE's is not going to rent A/V in territories where there is a greater presence of other A/V Companies.

But 22nd Avenue services the entire Western United States? That's correct! But for productions only! The key difference here is just that. When a client calls on us to Produce an event... or to provide a service (such as Video Production, Concert Sound, Stage Lighting... or all of the above and then some) - this is not a "Rental". You're hiring the skilled professionals at 22nd Avenue... to bring quality equipment and provide a professional service.

From simple details, such as ensuring 100% of the bulbs are working in our market lighting... To paying attention to your colors and even matching power cord color to remain as inconspicuous as possible. ​

​For setup times; we prefer at least one hour prior to your meeting. Most meetings will benefit from a three-camera setup, with up to six microphones. Depending on the equipment available on-site, we also will provide screens up to 55" so that participants may be seen during the teleconference.
 
Once we go live, the technician will help moderate the meeting if needed - directing public comments and feedback where appropriate.
 
Once the meeting concludes, pack-out usually takes 15 to 30 minutes and we are on the road shortly after.

Regardless where we stand on the political spectrum, we can all agree the importance of being heard. That's where the A/V Install Nerds at 22nd Avenue love to geek out. From small courtrooms to larger government buildings - the installation, maintenance and successful implementation of quality audiovisual is one of the many flavors of 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics.

Which is why we wanted to take a moment to share the work of another contractor who installed the audiovisual system used at the United States Senate Chambers.

We share the same passion and desire to ensure any installation is quality through and through. RIght down to matching the color of your existing 200 year old furniture! Check it out:

To help keep our community safe, the idea of Drive-In Wedding's have become a thing... but there are many ways to approach the concept. The biggest challenge in a drive-in wedding, we believe, is still creating the moment of attendance. The couple getting married wants to know you're there... and in that... the guests want to ​see everything.

This is something the experts at 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics created a solution for! We've already created solutions for live event streaming... why not apply that same approach to a live drive in wedding?

​With the realization of adapting to "socially distant events" - 22nd Avenue Entertainment Logistics was approached to create a drive-in solution for a wedding.

With the challenge of flat ground, we determined the most economical alternative for sight-lines would be to deploy an ultra low-latency stream (glass-to-glass) system for viewers in their vehicles to connect to directly - with a Short-Range FM Broadcast for those who wanted to sit outside on their vehicles.

We utilized a second streaming backup (low-latency) for viewers at home and in other Countries.

Our solution provided real-time video and production, as well as market/string lighting, uplighting, live audio/concert sound, staging, drape and power. As well as on-site data via cellular bonders (masts at 30').

The entire package was presented on a private link for families and friends to watch across the country and in Mexico.

Every best effort was made to ensure families were together, while relatives and guests were distant... while still enjoying the celebration of this beautiful moment.

We were happy to be a part of the solution... and wish the very best to Abdiel and Fatima as they start their new life together!

It's a slow process as the world realigns and finds balance. It's especially hard for many of us in the live events sector... as our cause... our mission... was simple - "To unify and inspire." No matter your race, orientation or faith.

... but when the time comes, we'll be ready to deliver what matters most to you.

As the covid-19 crisis continues on we have continued to enhance our video production and live streaming services. As we have helped other vendors and competitors with their live streaming setups, one of the most important aspects of in studio and on-site streaming for video is tablespace. 

With the ability to have a smaller production footprint, not only is this more aesthetic for clients not... This allows for a faster deployment and a faster strike. 

We are now able to livestream on site where there is no internet or data available, with self-contained TurnKey packages including mobile broadband and same-day delivery. 

For graduations, special ceremonies and conferences looking to go virtual we have options which engage your audience and are reliable for viewing. ​
