The people
who already book here.
“I posted a last-minute video engineer call for a Corona corporate dinner at 10pm and had three vetted applicants by midnight. The one I picked checked in at the dock on time, knew the venue cold, and the bill was exactly what the dashboard said it would be. That doesn't happen with phone-tree agencies.”
“We run two shows a week in this neighborhood and the same video engineer keeps applying. After three repeat bookings he hit ELITE and now he's our first choice. Saves me an hour of vetting per gig.”

Frequently asked
Questions about hiring
a video engineer in Corona.
Do I need a video engineer for a single-camera Corona event?+
For single-camera with no broadcast, usually no — a camera op + simple recorder is enough. The moment you add a second camera, a switcher, a livestream, or any graphics overlay, you need a video engineer. They cost less than the cost of one botched broadcast.
What's the difference between a video engineer and a director?+
Engineer (V1) handles signal and switching. Director calls the shots — 'camera 2, take graphic, ready 3'. On smaller shows, one person does both. On broadcast-grade shows, they're two seats.
Can a video engineer also handle streaming?+
Yes — most modern V1s also encode and push to YouTube, Vimeo, custom RTMP, or hybrid event platforms (Bizzabo, Hopin). Confirm encoder + bandwidth requirements with your venue before booking.
