Technical Rider for Presentations:
John Hoover, PhD & Roger P. DiSilvestro
- Dr. John and Roger like to work as close to their audiences as possible
(and practical) without compromising any audience member’s ability to
see. They prefer not to use a lectern, podium, or have anything between them
and the audience. This means whatever seating arrangement you elect to use
for your meeting, they’ll move in and among the audience as much as
space allows.
- Unless otherwise specified, Dr. John and Roger request a first-class sound
amplification system with an operator during the presentation. In descending
preference, they prefer (1) a wireless lavaliere microphone or (2) a wireless
handheld microphone or (3) a wired lavaliere microphone or (4) a wired handheld
microphone. All should be unidirectional. Fresh batteries are a must for all
wireless equipment. Also include a podium microphone for introduction and
backup purposes.
- Unless otherwise specified, Dr. John and Roger request a recently-manufactured
laptop or desktop PC with a 1200 lumens (minimum) LCD projector or better
with a projection surface and image size adequate for the entire audience
to see easily. They prefer to use a wireless remote (pickle) to change PowerPoint
slides.
- When video taping is involved, Dr. John and Roger request a minimum of 500
watts front light and 500 watts backlight covering the speaking area. Frontlight
should have spun diffusion in gel frames and color correction as required
by the camera format. There should be a locked-off camera recording audience
reactions and a locked-off camera on the speaking area for B-roll purposes.
The locked off cameras should record on separate tape loads for the entirety
of the presentation with a separate audio microphone and channel.
- When the event is videotaped by the event sponsor or producers, Dr. John
Hoover or Roger DiSilvestro will be given a digital copy of the master recordings
from each camera, along with a first-class recording (preferably digital)
of any audio recording made of their remarks. There is no additional charge
for recording because Dr. John and Roger want you to have a quality record
of your meeting. However, prior, written consent is required in any event.
Dr. John and Roger want your event to be a success and for your attendees to
enjoy their experience as much as possible. Attention to these details in advance
will ensure the highest probability of achieving those goals. Whether or not
there are any questions about these items or alternative arrangements need to
be made, Dr John or Roger will request a pre-event telephone conference with
the event producers a minimum of one calendar week prior to the presentation.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
