  • Our attendance has been growing each year; almost to the point we are running out of room (we're up to 1,000 people per show). We tie the Big Surf Drive-In Movie in with a neighborhood sleep out so we already have a built in audience of 500. Your equipment and crew is far superior to your competitors.

    Thank you again for the spectacular Disco Fever show last Saturday night. You definitely got Newport talking. Thanks in part to Big Wave‚s efforts we raised more than $150,000. We look forward to having you back next year.

    I thought the Big Wave three date combo was incredible. We booked one Disco Fever and two Big Surf Drive-In Movies. All three events were a phenomenal success with our home owners. We're going to bring Big Wave in again next year. We cater to a mature audience and they are hard to please. Thanks for making me look so good.

    Brian Winthrop and Big Wave have been a part of some of our largest and most adventurous events and programs. I can count on them to develop a reasonable solution to most any problem and to roll with the punches inherent in working with the New York City Parks. In short, they are reasonable, reliable and flexible.

  • We started using Big Wave in 1998 in Los Angeles, then, Miami, Chicago and most recently San Diego. Brian Winthrop is creative, flexible and has a lot of pride in what he does. He has now become more of an asset to us by knowing the objectives we are trying to accomplish and being able to handle the coordination and planning with the properties.

    It was a pleasure working with you and your expert staff on the recent Pfizer event in Naples at the Ritz Carlton. The event was a great success for the client and we were pleased with the results as well. Thank you for being an integral part of the team and for helping to make us look good. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

    I served as Producer/Production Designer/Event Planner for Brooklyn Academy of Music's event "Weill Style: A Kurt Weill Centenary Celebration," which took place at the NewsWalk building in Brooklyn, NY on Thursday, February 10, 2000. The event was a gala fundraiser for Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). Drawing from the life, works, and era of Kurt Weill, I developed the concept of an "industrial cabaret." The design relied heavily on lighting/image projection to fill the concrete shell of a 360,000 cubic foot abandoned factory space.

    I contracted with Big Wave International Ltd. to collaborate on the design and execute it using their equipment and staff. I presented my vision of using light and images to provide texture, control & influence mood and provide a psychological sense of drama, warmth, and intimacy in an otherwise bare, volumous space. I provided them with images of Kurt Weill & related subjects, color schemes, gobo selection, and ideas for plots & scene presets. Taking these, they developed a full lighting/projection plan that included not only the interior of the main space, but auxiliary interior spaces (main entrance, foyer, coat check, sanitary area, and catering area), as well as projections onto the outside of the building at the main entrance & across the building in the direction of the arriving guests. Using various shades of warmer hues (reds, yellows), interspersed with neutral & colder colors, they executed the design using morphing colors, shapes, and images that subtly moved in and around the room. Aisles between tables and a covered foyer and coat check were "painted" with light onto bare concrete, giving the feel of carpeting and drapery.

    The end result was stunning and dramatic. The subtle movement of light and images made the room come alive, with a feeling of a performance taking place. Big Wave's skill in design & execution made my vision a reality. They were outstanding, supportive, and accommodating partners in creating a very successful event.

  • How can we thankyou enough for such an incredible party at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York. As you probably remember, the challenge with this event was creating an environment where 2,000 very different guests, everyone from hard-core Linux "techies" to executive level management, could have a great time. And I have to say that this party met and actually exceeded our expectations as to how much everyone enjoyed themselves. The room setup was amazing, the lighting and music created a truly cool and hip environment, and it looked incredibly professional from the moment you enterred the huge space.

Thanks for making this a great party, possibly our best party ever!
