Robin Crow Technical Rider

This Rider is to insure delivery of the best possible presentation. Because we know that all writers are different, and that there is not a "one size fits all" solution for all events, we have outlined three distinct technical options for your consideration. Robin asks only for essentials in order to provide you with a smooth running professional event. To that end, Robin would like to personally communicate with everyone in charge of sound and lights within your organization, as well as the designated supplier.

Please send Robin the phone numbers and contact information of the production companies responsible for sound, lights, and AV production no later than 30 days prior to the event. This is not to complicate matters but to confirm we are all on the same page and that there will be no surprises.

Putting on an event can be a daunting task, and we are grateful for your attention to the details of this rider

1) BARE BONES, BUT EFFECTIVE . . . for groups of 300 or less

One of Robin's favorite and most memorable events, which was when he spoke/performed in Tampa for 96 people, was small, economical, and simple.

Stereo PA system consisting of two, two-way speakers on stands and two monitors

Basic stereo mixing console (example Mackie 1604)

DVD player and projector with either one or two screens

Lighting can be simple, optional, or well lit with follow spot and stage lights

2) THE REAL THING, BUT AFFORDABLE . . . for groups of 750 or smaller

Stereo PA system with at least two (2), two-way cabinets per side

Professional mixing console with two monitor sends, a professional mix engineer who understands how to hook up and run in-ear monitors (which Robin will bring).

DVD player and projector with two screens

One (or two if possible) follow spots (with operators) - front and rear stage lights

Although AV cameras are always nice, they are not a necessity

3) KNOCK THEIR SOCKS OFF, SOMETHING THEY'LL NEVER FORGET . . . For groups of 100 to 10,000!

a. Stereo PA system with at least two, two-way cabinets per side. If system is flown, then it must include front-fill speakers as well.

b. Professional mixing console with two monitor sends, a professional mix engineer who understands how to hook up and run in-ear monitors (which Robin will bring).

c. When cameras are being used to project image on side screens, a third screen in the center which can be used for projecting Robin's DVDs is preferable.

d. Two follow spots (with operators) - front and rear stage lights - audience blinders

e. If your group is 1,000 or more, consider setting up a couple of 'satellite risers in the audience;' then focus several stage lights on each riser. The audience absolutely loves it when 'center stage' shifts to different parts of the room.
