Big Screen Hire

Big Screen Hire always recommends having a back up indoor venue for the event just in case it rains but understand that this is not always possible. You do have the option of cancelling the event but this will need to be communicated to Big Screen Hire by 10am of the day of the event which will ensure no fee is charged as long as the event is rescheduled to another date. After 10am on the day of the event the full cost will be charged.

Big Screen Hire movie screens are very versatile and durable so options on set up can be very broad. Car parks, parks, beaches, on a barge or even a roof top are all possible for the Big Movie Screen as long as there is enough space for the screen, equipment, audience and the area is deemed safe and secure.

Safety for your guests is always the first consideration as the last thing you need is anyone getting hurt. Look over the area and ensure you are not taking any unnecessary risks and remove any objects that could course injury. Is the area pleasant and or picturesque, great views can go a long way to drawing a crowd. Lighting is also a concern as you do not want big street lights near the screen which will interfere with the projection quality. As a rule of thumb allow approximately 90-100 meters in length and 30-50 meters in width. However, we can setup almost anywhere.

The venue should also be well maintained with short grass or clean of rubbish, sprinklers, gas and electrical lines. Big Screen Hire will need to secure the screen so please ensure 4ft takes can be driven into the ground. If this is not permitted then alternative methods need to be used, e.g. securing it to street posts or a building or water ballast is also an option.

Considering how close the event will be to residents is also a strong consideration along with amply parking for guests. For more information on this important topic contact Big Screen Hire.

Standard 240 volts is all that is required but if power is not close by then generators will be used.

Typically Big Screen Hire likes to get to the venue about 3 hours before kick off but this can vary according to the type of event. Anything less than 2 hours can be difficult.

This format is the easiest but Big Screen can also work with VHS. 35mm film is complicated and expensive but we are capable of delivering this format.
