Michael Conti hires by several local clients with large international audiences to provide technical services as defined by the definition listed provided below.
Resources of a technical director
“Technical Director (TD) is usually a senior technical person within e.g. a film studio, theatrical company or television studio. A TD usually possesses the highest level of skill within a specific technical field and may be recognized as an expert in that industry.”
Being a TD means these clients trusted the technical expertise demonstrated by Michael Conti to provide the highest standards of quality, both visual and technical, to their audiences. No detail is too small when it comes to successfully capturing and/or streaming content that reaches an online audience of more than 2000 people.
“In 2017, I was hired to run a three camera live 3-day shoot in Munich for a client with a large live audience and a global live stream audience. There was a lot of details going into this event. It was really helpful that English seems to be the universal language when it comes to direction. My German crew did a remarkable job. I recall a bit frustrating that the switcher controller was opposite of what I was used to working on back at home. The client was so happy with the results of the live editing that they were able to quickly turn around the product without additional post production.”
Working with directors, camera operators, sound and lighting engineers to insure that everything is going to work smoothly. While this goal is always the intended rainbow to reach: he knows that things do go side-ways, from dropped internet, equipment malfunction, operator error, last minute client demands, challenging talent. Regardless the show must go on, and that demands a professional demeanor with the crew or staff that things are in control.
It is all about pre-production, rehearsal and knowing the systems that you need to work with:
Equipment
- Colorsource Console 20 for stage lighting
- BlackMagic 4K Camera
- AJ-PX270 Panasonic Cameras
- BlackMagic ATEM Switcher
- Mackie 1604VLZ4 16-Channel Compact 4-Bus Mixer among other tools
If you are a church, a place of worship, a spiritual center, corporation or other business that needs to communicate with live events as well as create content for your purchasing audience, please give Michael a call to discuss your challenges, needs and wants.
