DIRECTV Revolution 2010

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

For the last few years, DIRECTV has invited 2,000 of its dealers to Dallas for a three-day conference that features fabulous dinners, world-class entertainment, engaging keynote addresses where new products & features are launched and informative breakout sessions. This year, Radar was tapped by The HAND Company to provide the following services:

General Sessions:

Radar handled show direction and stage management, created all of the showflows, managed all the music and PowerPoint presentations played in the room as well as all of the media that played on the screens in the 28,000 square foot ballroom.
Radar’s creative team took the SVP of Sales and put him in the movies with a video that helped kick off the second half of the general session.
Radar also produced an on-site highlight video that played on the last day featuring pics & videos from the conference.

Casino Night:

Radar produced five genre loops featuring adventure, musicals, horror, sci-fi and classic movies that played throughout the party.
Radar created 4 green screen areas that allowed guests to insert themselves into four movie trailers: Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes, The Hangover and 2012 (all movies currently available on DIRECTV Cinema Studios).
We also took three camera feeds along with several playback sources and ran them through an Encore video system to project images onto six screens in the 75,000 square foot space.
After the event, we setup a website where guests could view & download pics from the event and, using passcodes made only available to them, view their movie clips. Radar’s team handled the email distribution, the creation of the website and all of the photos taken on-site.

Below are some highlights from the event. Enjoy!
