Hi,
Hopefully this post is in the correct spot but i digress. I am putting together an event hire and production company together here in Melbourne Australia (240v 10a/500v 32amp). I am trying to sort out what I am going to do for lighting - I already work with a small local company that is looking to close down soon (next 5 years) because he is now nearing retirement age and as he says "...getting too old for this ****.." So I am looking to take over his business trade but to a slightly larger level. The work varies between 5 man bands in function rooms to 8k people at outdoor festivals across 3 stages.
The other person whom I am going into this industry full time with is in charge of lighting as he's worked in that area since about the age of 11. Unfortunately he is incredibly busy at the moment so he doesn't have the time to sit down and work out an equipment list, so it looks like thats my job.
As I said the work varies from event to event so this is sort of the list that i've come up with so far in terms of fixtures.
So what would you get if you had to organize the a hire/event invetory for an event company varying from 150 people and a 5 piece band in a function room (without 3 phase power) to 8k people along three stages for an outdoor waterfront festival.
I know i'm going to be asked for a budget but I don't have much of a clue - total budget for the start up is at around 4-600k however the less I spend the less I owe. Sound has so far taken around 250-300.
Cheers for the help guys
