Some projects land right in the middle of fabrication and production—and that’s where our team does some of its best work.

ELS built this custom stage sign for artist Max McNown using lightweight aluminum and two connectable frames that can be flown above the stage.

Each individual letter contains DMX-controlled LED tape, giving the lighting team control over colors and chases while allowing the entire piece to work as part of the show’s lighting design—not just as a static sign.

It’s a great example of our fabrication and production departments working together to create a custom set piece that looks good, travels practically, and integrates with modern stage lighting.

A lot of work went into getting Hillvue Heights Church’s new audio system ready for Sunday.

Now it’s installed, tuned, and doing what it was built to do: helping every part of the service be heard clearly throughout the room.

ELS is proud to partner with Hillvue, and we’re grateful they trusted our team with their sound—and with helping their message be heard.

Friday progress check from Hillvue.

The crew has been moving through the installation this week, and the pieces are starting to come together—but this is still very much an active jobsite.

Work continues through Saturday night, so these photos and videos are the middle of the story, not the finished reveal.

We’ll share the completed project next week after the final work is done.

to ZZ Top and a show with some serious production behind it.

Big stages get the attention, but it’s the planning, prep, crew, and countless details behind the scenes that make a production at this scale work.

Here are a few shots from a good day on the job.

The Show Shuttle out on the job with Media Group LLC earlier this year.

They also took out a package of Volux Phyton fixtures, giving their crew another flexible lighting option for the production.

Thanks to CSL Media Group for sending these pictures and videos our way. We always appreciate getting to see our equipment working in the field.

Every integration starts with a room, some drawings, a plan… and usually a bit of “okay, let’s figure this out.”

Here’s where we started at Hillvue Heights Church: the lift in the sanctuary, drawings and system planning spread out on stage, and the existing front-of-house booth before we started making any changes.

Check back later to see the finished product.

Throwback Thursday to the Fairview Independence Day Celebration on July 3! 🇺🇸

ELS provided all audio, video, and lighting for the event, coordinated the stage, and brought out our TT+ GTX audio rig. We arrived prepared to support four bands throughout the day, but heavy rain, lightning, and severe storms brought the show to an early stop.

Our crew quickly covered the equipment and weathered the storm. Once conditions cleared, we were able to get the production fired back up in time for the final band of the evening—then wrapped up the day with a muddy load-out.

Outdoor events don’t always go according to plan. Great production takes preparation, adaptability, and a crew that’s ready to respond when conditions change.
