Mental Forge manage and deliver live productions, events, and presentations from technical planning through execution. These services focus on precision, reliability, and a seamless audience experience across theatre productions, live events, conferences, and video-based presentations.
Live theatre technical direction is where creative planning meets real-time execution, in the room, with your team. Complete technical direction for live productions means turning the design intent into a clear, repeatable cue structure that fits your venue.
Production management is the difference between an operation that runs smoothly and one where everyone's working in separate silos, pulling in different directions. We keep everything moving as one unified system.
Venue management is all about how the building actually works on a show day. Not just how it looks in a plan. It involves thinking through how people arrive, find their seats, and share the same space for a conferences, and community events.
Conference and corporate event production services bring polish to main-stage sessions. We manage main-stage AV operation and technical direction and handling house audio systems, microphones, stage lighting, projection, and video playbacks.
Live streaming and virtual event production link the gap between the people in the room and the people watching from home. It's not enough for online audiences to just see a feed. They need to follow the event as clearly and compellingly as those sitting in the venue.
Professional video production services focus on creating content that feels genuinely broadcast-ready. Working with RED camera systems allows for high-end cinematography that suits branded content, campaigns, storytelling, and visually demanding projects.
We handle K–12 curriculum video recording for courses running 2.5+ hours or longer, designing long-form recording sessions that stay structured and watchable.
Raw footage is just raw material. Post-production turns it into finished assets that are actually ready for platforms and distribution. We work in Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve, and we structure content into clear narratives.
Live Production & Presentation Execution grows with your organisation and stregenth each show, conference and recording over time.
Recurring performances and live events become predictable routines, not fresh reinventions for every date.

It depends on the scope and complexity. A single lighting plot with cue documentation takes 2 to 3 weeks. Full technical direction for a theatre run means being present from load-in through all performances. Conference AV setup and main-stage operation is typically a few days before the event plus days during.
