BML- Blackbird is a leading technical event production company in NYC and NJ. Many clients, both current and prospective, know that we create magic through technology for special events, concerts and conferences throughout this competitive market.
Over the years, we have handled technical production for hundreds of events, big and small. Every event is unique and requires its own brand of strategic thinking and innovation. While all of our productions are special to us, here are some events in particular that showcase what we do every day when it comes to lighting, staging, video and audio.
Lighting: Governor’s Ball
BML-Blackbird helped the music-festival culture of New York start the summer off right with 3 days of production magic at the 2015 Governors Ball Music Festival at Randall’s Island Park in New York City. 20,000 people gathered during the first weekend of June to witness Drake headline on Friday with a career-spanning set. Innovative DJs Rustie and Flying Lotus carried the hyped crowd through Saturday and Sunday welcomed a true veteran to wrap up an unforgettable experience – Weird Al Yankovic.
After successfully working the annual event since 2013, we became the festival’s go-to technical event production company in NYC because of our strong knowledge of the festival grounds. For months leading up to the big weekend, our Project Manager worked closely with the client every step of the way to make sure all of the stages and needs were taken care of seamlessly. We’re happy to report the festival went off without a hitch.
Staging: New York Jets
In 2010, the New York Jets approached BML-Blackbird to produce several events during the season, the highlight of which were the season’s home opener on national television and the halftime show on Thanksgiving Night. Needless to say, we had quite a large crowd to please.
For the home opener, which featured Green Day and the cast of the Broadway Hit American Idiot, we specifically designed a staging solution to pull off the huge feat. There aren’t many companies that can move a world renowned rock band onto an NFL field, have the lighting and sound TV broadcast-quality and break down the stage, all in less than 13 minutes. Well, BML-Blackbird can, and we did it all again on Thanksgiving night for the Rock of Ages Halftime Spectacular.
In 2011, we were also the ones to produce the unforgettable 9/11 Tribute at the Home Opener.
In addition to wowing audiences across the nation, we have provided sound, stage and lighting for rallies held in New York City, at the New Meadowlands Stadium and the Jets’ facility in Florham Park.
Video: David E Monn
In November of 2014, BML-Blackbird teamed up with decorator David E. Monn for the Library Lions event held at the New York Public Library. We provided display, camera and recording services for this event, which honored those who contributed greatly to the New York Public Library that year, either through donations or literary works.
This event required an intricate design and setup. The event itself was very decorative, so we needed a screen design to match it. Because of the unique location, hanging the screen required some technical innovation as well. We were able to work through the obstacles that the venue presented and provide beautiful displays.
Audio: God’s Love We Deliver
In June of 2015, we were honored to be a part of the opening of the brand new Michael Kors Building for God’s Love We Deliver, the New York City metropolitan area’s leading provider of nutritious, individually-tailored meals to people who are too sick to shop or cook for themselves as their primary technical event production company in NYC.
The dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony included speeches from many high-profile guests, including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Melissa Rivers, Blaine Trump and Michael Kors himself.
The event took place outside on the sidewalk in front of the new building, so we were tasked with providing exceptional audio services outdoors on the very busy and noisy Avenue of the Americas.
Of course, even with clear audio, the speeches would have lost all their power without the right platform. When choosing from the options for a stage rental in NYC, it’s important to remember that every event and every location has unique needs. For this ceremony, the surface was not flat but we provide a safe, secure and leveled stage for honored guests to share their excitement and support for a wonderful organization that has served the New York community for more than 30 years.
These are just a few of many productions we’ve handled as a technical event production company in NYC. With our decades of experience, we have been able to pull off some incredible feats in lighting, staging, video and audio. We offer the same level of knowledge, creativity and professionalism to each individual event and are always ready for anything. Finding a technical event production company in NYC that is dedicated and trustworthy can be tough, but our years of technical experience and happy clients prove that BML-Blackbird is the right choice.
