Live Event Examples

Fast Pitch 2025

Fast Pitch 2025 is an event to help non-profits raise money for their organizations. For this event, I served as co-producer and director. This event at The Fox Theater was streamed live to a large audience and featured live musical show cues, over 20 presenters, synchronized lighting and sound cues, and a live fundraising update segment. The production of Fast Pitch has grown year over year, reaching this Oscar-style show for its 10th anniversary.

Show Automation

When putting together a large production, it is important to create a reliable and repeatable experience, and one way to do that is to prepare, prepare, and prepare some more. One of the ways I do that is to automate different parts of the production when you can. This video illustrates ways to automate parts of a show that helps to create that reliable and repeatable production.

Amphi School District Graduation Ceremonies

To help the Amphi Public School district make its graduation ceremonies accessible to more people coming out of COVID, I have been live-streaming the ceremonies of each of all three high schools for several years now including audio and video services for both the stadiums and live streams.. These productions include all audio equipment and live sound support for the entire stadiums and four camera video production, and graphics.

Timna Guerchon, Public Events Coordinator, AZPM

As the local public media community events coordinator, I have worked very closely with Shawn from the beginning of my time at AZPM. It is important to have a trusting, open and communicative relationship with your production team when you are presenting content to audiences in various locations with differing technology. Working with Shawn and knowing he wants our events to be high quality, consistent, and enjoyable experiences as much as I do means I can trust him to do just that and he leaves me free to manage other aspects of our events. He communicates what he needs and understands what I need for our events to be successful.
