Do you know what is takes to make your party happen!?
When booking an event or casting for a show, much time and ground work is involved no matter the size of the booking scale.
We know all too well that in one booking there are many facets of the
design. When we get the call from our client, we immediately begin the
planning stages to bring a vision to life. And within that vision is an
entire crew of experts to make that dream a reality.
It begins with
our leader Bella who discusses the wants and needs of the client
typically over the phone or through many e-mail conversations. Bella
makes sure she is crystal clear on how and what the client is hoping to
create for their event or film project. After numerous communications
between client and Bella, the creative process begins.
Bella maps
out details in precise formation with swatches of fabrics, hand written
drawings that map out each idea, costume, look, color scheme, and style
of entertainment requested.
What is needed for each request? Bella
gets many calls from casting directors or for film or tv project where
big named casting companies rely on Bella's savvy casting abilities to
find that "impossible to find" actor or model.
Perhaps someone is
planning a Great Gatsby Party or another themed entertainment where
there are a lot of pieces to the puzzle- and need someone with years of
experience and a strong talent pool to put together the night.
Many times events need personal, professional writers to map out the script and dialogue.
Bella then begins to make the calls to her well thought out team of
experts whom will begin the creating process right with her. Dance
captain and choreographer Tonya Vivian will begin the visuals of what
she will start to choreograph while musical director Irby Gascon starts
mapping out the sound, sound track and all of the PA and musical aspects
of the event. With the choreographer and music director in place, the
creative part of the process is ready.
Tonya will carefully hand
select the dancers and begin mapping out the choreography. The dancers
are picked by their technique of dance, and stage presence and ability
to bring the client's vision to life. The dancers are cast by Bella on
their ability, look and most importantly their integrity to work as a
team and represent Tribute Productions in the most professional way. The
dance team is a group of working professional dancers who all come
together to make the performance a success.
Many times other
professional experts are brought in to help with any props, red carpets,
lighting or atmosphere entertainment that Tribute is so well known for.
For every event, Bella will custom costume all of the performers. She
will work with her client and even create custom product branding on all
of her custom costumes.
There is an in-house seamstress to help
with custom costuming in which Bella works directly one on one with to
map out costuming and to make sure each stitch is exactly as needed.
Musicians, actors, and specialty talents may be called to fill in all the missing pieces of the event theme.
Many times a specific casting call may need to happen to cast a model, or Hollywood double to fit the role of the booking.
Then there is a crew that will help load everything into the event and help pack it all up.
All in one night work!
They say "it takes a village" and in the case of booking a live event,
casting for a TV show, putting together a party or even just a very
small personal appearance- the team of experts it takes to make an event
"the most memorable" really does rely on our team of the best.
We
are proud to say how good we feel knowing we put our clients in the best
hands possible to not only bring their vision to life, but to make and
create that life into their vision!
