BLIZZCON 2010

 Back in October  of 2010, In-House Production, with Production Associates LLC. and the help of IATSE Local 504 of Anaheim California, helped to create one large work force of STAGEHAND LABOR for ONE LARGE EVENT. This was an EVENT that took over the Anaheim Convention Center. THIS WAS AN EVENT OF THE YEAR. This was done with STAGEHANDS taking care of FREIGHT to LIGHTING, AUDIO, VIDEO STAGING AND RIGGING.This event took Hall A, Hall B, Hall C, Hall D and some break-out rooms. What an event. Over 200 PLUS STAGEHANDS working everyday from Truck Loaders, Audio Technician, Video Technician, Fork Operators for the total install. We even took care of the cleaning the halls at the end of this event. ALL PRODUCTION RIGGERS used on the BlizzCon Event were ETCP CERTIFIED. With over 400 Chain Motors hanging holding up over 7000 feet of Truss, Projector and Video Screens hanging over all the 4 halls as well as Speaker Clusters hanging everywhere. There was more Staging, Video and Audio used for this 2 DAY EVENT then in a long time. BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT IS THE COMPANY. Michael Thuney, President of PRODUCTION ASSOCIATES LLC is the person. If you need that Production person that is needed for that not quite a CONVENTION  or  STAGE SHOW, he is the guy. In-House Production on this job had NO injuries, damages that could have added to the install or strike. The Crews worked Great, the Production Teams worked Great, I it was by far a GREAT EVENT. The event was a BIG SUCCESS FOR ALL. THANK YOU MICHAEL THUNEY AND BLIZZCON.

CUSTOM NODES AND FLOOR COVER PLATES

 In-House Production was asked to come up with a system that could be added into the concrete floor with a lift out of over 2000lb of force. The idea was to be able to use for guides and bolt down to the floor anything one could imaging. Three things had to be part of the design.

(1). It had to not rust. Being mounted into the floor, water and cleaning fluid will become part of its dayly life.  (2). It had to be flush to the floor when not in use. This could not be a trip hazard as the Ballroom is used for a number of events. (3). It had to have the center screw able to screw-out. Custom screw plugs can be built for those custom events that requires that different look. This node has a 5/8" threaded hole to except eye bolts. The Node were engineered to meet any city requirment and inspection after being installed. Great Idea with a custom look for that special ballroom floor. 

After driving a scissor lift over and bending the FLOOR POCKET COVERS and not having the water and elect covers not matching with the custom nodes that have been power coaded, something had to be done with the floor pockets. As wit the Nodes, We cam up with custom built FLOOR POCKETS

 WITH HINGED DOORS. We built them from 3/8" plate and added sides to the doors so they coulld not cave in. Painted the same color as the nodes to match the floor as the nodes do, it came out to look as the floor did. We at In-House Production DESIGNED, HAD BUILT AND INSTALLED BOTH THE CUSTOM NODES AND CUSTOM FLOOR PLATE COVERS. For more information on the nodes or floor cover plates, give us a  call at 702-631-4748
