Try this instead. Notice how reducing the number of panels and moving elements closer together can still work nicely for much less. A good tip is to use a cyc in the background with sharp lighting effects. This basic approach, paired with just a few items for depth, can help your small stage set have the same impact as the big guys.
A big show can make a big impression with lighting. Framed fabric pieces with the right light fill up a stage and really capture the attention of your audience. But when space is limited...
Try scaling for a simple, yet bold effect. This set uses the same elements as the previous one, but condenses them to match the size of the conference. Rich lighting makes the elements pop and deliver that visual spark for less dough.
These days corporate events are trending toward clean lines and simple elegance. Often utilized in a large space, these designs can grow to a very large scale, as seen in this skyscraper-esque environment. Impressive to be sure. But what about a smaller event that needs the same clean look with much fewer pieces?
Try this on for size. Same clean lines. Same sense of size... but the actual dimensions are much smaller. Simple, elegant looks work well in any scale with a little creative application.
For a truly flexible stage, work with modular pieces that multiply well. In this picture, over 100 Cytower Panels are used to craft a stunning presentation for a general session. With lego-like elements, you can mix and match endlessly to build a set with a custom look. But if you find your tastes don't jive with what's in your wallet...
Try this stage design. Same pieces, smaller venue. Modular elements that stack can give you a lot of flexibility when adapting to your show constraints. The reality is that ballrooms will always have different ceiling heights and layout restrictions... but when you go modular, you can easily maintain your look in any room.
And for the truly budget-conscious, remember that modular pieces can be arranged in many different way. From walls to columns, screen surrounds to stage liners, any number of elements can still have maximum impact when tastefully arranged.
