Once you have obtained all the audio visual equipment
you'll need for the production, here are some other items that should
be on your list.
Equipment
carts
Give your back a break and increase efficiency in setting
up your venue. These also save time and energy.
Spotlights
Great for illuminating your stage area in front of the screen. Also
useful to shine up and around your audience for safe exit.
2-way radios
When decisions need to be made quickly, these are indispensable
to your management, especially if you have a large venue. It can
be difficult to find your staff when it's dark.
Decibel reader
If you want your sound levels to tread lightly on your audience
and local neighborhoods, these are useful to measure your audio
levels. Your city may require you to stay under a maximum decibel
level.
Folding tables and chairs
A few folding tables are helpful for staff taking tickets. Extra
chairs can be given to those who show up without a chair or they
can be rented for additional income.
Storage tubs
You'll have many small items to stage your production. Stay organized
with assorted sizes of plastic storage containers.
Literature racks
Use for schedules and sponsor info you may have at the concession
and entrance tables.
Branded signs
Be sure to clearly mark your venue with entrance signs and messages
that communicate parking, prices, etc.
Table light
If your tables don't have access to electricity, battery operated
lights that illuminate the entrance area is a wise safety precaution
for your staff and your audience.
Flashlights
Have a half dozen flashlights on hand for your entire staff. Head
lamps are great if you're packing up in low light.
Money belts
We prefer belts because they are constantly connected to a person
and are more difficult to steal than a cash box. Look for heavy-duty
belts with a few compartments and zippers.
Generators
Depending on your electrical sources and location, you may need
to have a high watt generator. The size is determined by the amount
of equipment you will be running.
Video game console
This is a nice novelty, especially for the kids. Be careful how
long you have the game running into the show as some audience members
who came for the movie may get upset.
