Key takeaway
Ask any 3D projection mapping vendor whether they own the equipment, which exact models they will supply, who operates the show, what spares travel with the rig, how a power failure is handled mid-show and whether the quote is itemised. Specific, confident answers signal a company that has actually done it.
Key takeaways
- Owned inventory beats sub-renting
- Exact model numbers, not categories
- Meet the engineer, not only the salesperson
- Get spares and failure plans in writing
Questions worth asking
Equipment
- Do you own this equipment or sub-rent it for each job?
- What exactly will you supply for projector class?
- What exactly will you supply for surface reflectance assumption?
- What exactly will you supply for typical façade budget?
- When was it last serviced, and can I see it before the event?
People
- Who is the mapping technician on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the media server operator on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the content artist on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the projector technician on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the rigger on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
Risk
- How do you handle this: street lighting or a neighbouring building's floodlights wash the façade and the show looks grey?
- How do you handle this: content is authored before projector positions are fixed, so the animation does not sit on the geometry?
- How do you handle this: a projector tower settles overnight in soft ground and the whole blend is out by morning?
- How do you handle this: dust and heat in an outdoor enclosure cause thermal shutdown mid-show?
- How do you handle this: brightness is calculated from lumens alone and the dark stone façade swallows the image?
- How do you handle this: the audience ends up standing off the designed viewing axis and the 3d illusion collapses?
Commercials
- Is the quote itemised by equipment, crew, transport and power?
- Is the figure before or after 18% GST?
- What is the advance, and what is the cancellation policy?
- What is explicitly not included?
