FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does event lighting production include?
The whole rig and its cues. EMRG Media designs the plot, hangs the fixtures, programs the console, and runs the board on show night. Your team runs the content. Our crew shapes the room with light.
How much does event lighting cost in NYC?
Price follows fixtures, venue, and crew. A single-wash setup costs a fraction of a full moving-head arena rig. EMRG quotes each plot on its own and shows you the whole budget before you sign.
Do you own your lighting fixtures?
Yes. We hold an in-house inventory of moving heads, washes, and control gear, and rent specialty units for big builds. We also tie lighting into sound and video through our AV production crew.
Can you match lighting to a stage design?
Yes. We read your set drawings, place fixtures around the scenery, and light the build so it reads on camera. Our stage design team and lighting crew plan the rig together, so nothing casts a shadow wrong.
Do you program cues and run the board live?
Yes. We build every cue in advance, run a full focus session, then operate the console through the show. Cues fire on timecode, so the lighting hits each beat without a beat missed.
Do you light events for brands as well as institutions?
Yes. We rig shows for Fortune 500 brands, universities, banks, and media companies. Clients include Google, Bloomberg, Netflix, Barclays, and Condé Nast, so we scale from panel wash to arena rig.
