FAQ
Questions before the first call
Consulting covers positioning, concept and the plan: brand and experience strategy, concept development and creative direction, and talent, collaborator and vendor curation. Experience Design is integrated design for optimal experience flow across stage, projection, installation, lighting, AR/VR/XR, sound, motion and fabrication. Production is getting it built: technical direction and creative logistics, fabrication, staffing and site management, and show call, measurement and load-out.
Yes. META services are tailored to the engagement. Strategic Consulting, Design, and Production is offered independently or as one continuous through-line.
Through four stages: Concept (positioning, concept, planning and scheduling), Design (integrated design for optimal experience flow), Build (getting it built — on time, on budget, on the day) and Operate (media systems, staff, crew ops, maintenance and quality control).
With the problem to be solved. We go deep into your “Why,” “How,” and “What” the project needs to resonate with your mission and values — then curate the best possible teams, contractors and vendors to execute on the “What.”
The LAB at Panorama (2016 – 2018) is documented as a case study of META's Concept, Design, Build and Operate process across three years of the festival, including its installations, collaborators and production details.
