Audio-Visual Event Services offers a range of professional video production options for our UC San Diego customers.
This service includes 1 video camera and one lavalier (clip-on) mic ideal for recording a lecture or event for documentation purposes. Minimal video editing is included to produce a link which you can post on websites like YouTube or a webpage.
This service provides 2 camera angles; one fixed on a Powerpoint slide projection screen in the venue and another camera to follow the presenter(s) as they speak. The technician will switch between both cameras to follow the action for a polished look. This is ideal for more than one speaker or for capturing interaction with the audience. Recommended for documenting one-time events. Additional microphones may be required depending on event needs.
We have a full recording studio which provides lighting and soundproofing to record high quality intimate interviews, presentations and video segments. We can also film and edit in “B-Roll” or external footage of anything on campus to add into a polished promotional video for funding proposals, marketing videos or special projects.

We provide:
You can bundle event photography with other Audio-Visual Event Services.
We provide sound systems for large events of up to 1000 attendees and small events for 30 attendees or less. Event services can be tailored to each individual event.
Wireless microphones are available for rent which can either be set up before and then removed after your event, or we can have our expert technicians operate the audio equipment for you. If requesting multiple lavalier mics (clip-on mics) we strongly recommend a technician stay on-site through the event to prevent feedback. Power outlets may be required depending on the package requested. A generator is available for rent for locations where power is not accessible.
In order to reserve your equipment and the technician's time we recommend that you submit your estimate request at least two weeks in advance and approve the job order promptly.
