PDA joined a host of Little Black Book supporters in celebration of their 10th Anniversary January 14 at lovely Founders Hall. Jennifer Buddin and the LBB ladies assembled a great evening of food and friends that included an exciting new launch of a fresh-faced cover that sports a sophisticated Betty. Congrats on ten fabulous years of word of mouth success!

Thankfully the Charleston Symphony Orchestra hosted two nights of Quentin Baxter and Friends for the McCrady’s Restaurant Charleston Pops series at Memminger Auditorium. I, along with an assorted, sold out crowd caught the second night. The auditorium became an intimate setting of warm lighting and a modern, accessible stage set with the music as the focal point. And it was fantastic. A range from classical to Coltrane-like improvisation without seeming like a stretch. Compliments to the Charleston Symphony for an inventive ensemble.
PDA is a proud supporter of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.

The PDA Video team arrived in Salt Lake City for the Outdoor Retailer Show and began our production schedule.
Our first shoot was at Snowbasin Resort in Odgen where we covered the Outdoor Retailer on Mountain Demo. This event allows retailers and buyers to test the latest products in actual mountain conditions.
It was a great day on the hill. Inbetween shoots our team managed to pile into the gondola and leave our tracks on the hill.
From here we take the crew inside the Salt Palace Convention Center and begin shooting Live from OR; in-booth interviews with gear manufacturers.
Some of the brands on our production calendar include Wolverine, Teva, Gore-Tex, Woolrich, Wenger, Carhart and Columbia. More to come!

PDA is proud to announce that Installation Project Manager Hunter Laird has completed Philips Entertainment Services Technical Training and is now Strand ASC Certified.
“It meant a lot for me being chosen to attend the Phillips/Strand Lighting certification course, says Hunter. To me it was way more than just learning about dimmer technology. It was making older and newer technology adapt with each other, making buildings “greener” with the capability of timed controls as well as sensor based controls, and meeting all of the cool people that make up the backbone of Phillips, Strand, Vari-Lite, and Color Kinetics. It adds another level of service to our clients as well.”
Continuing education exemplifies one of the many ways that PDA encourages our crew to be the best and brightest in the audio visual industry. These efforts support our commitment to better serve our clients.
