Case Studies

What do tennis balls, really cool rackets, and Tinc Design & Productions have in common? One fantastic launch party!
Dunlop needed a production company to bring together graphics, draping, lighting, sound, and video into one seamless gesture highlighting Dunlop’s newest line of high tech, ultra-light tennis rackets at The Union Square Ballroom this past Saturday. Many tennis greats came to the party, as press and guests hung out in the chic event space located across the street from Union Square Park.
Tinc’s Ryan Kirk was on hand to lend assistance for all things production – from printing the graphics to the drape. ”We went through quite a few RFQs to find the best prices and the most appropriate gear for the event,” says Kirk. ”It was important to appropriately support the event and the product without getting in the way or calling attention to the production elements.”
Tinc’s Lance Darcy was also onsite, providing his finely tuned aesthetic eye Tinc’s clients have come to expect. ”A lot of times events are thrown together with little thought to the Look. We don’t do anything without making sure the Look works.” Combining multiple production elements and integrating them together is key to Tinc’s approach.
A big thank you to Sarah Arnold, Sam Deshauteurs, Jason Gibson, and Scott Zeigler who loaded in and out the show and to The Union Square Ballroom for brining us aboard.
Great people creating a great event – it doesn’t get any better.

Client Needs
arts>World Financial Center needed to find a company capable of creating immersive Lighting Designs for a myriad of events – both private and public – which constantly change throughout the year in the space’s stunning atrium, The Winter Garden. Tinc fulfills this need in three ways.
Design
Whether the show is a private event, gospel competition, rock concert, orchestral performance, ballet, or silent film Tinc is on hand to design the lighting for whatever happens. Every show has its own unique needs, which means no repertory plots. New designs are generated every time so the show gets exactly what it needs.
Labor
Tinc doesn’t just dream loudly, we execute our visions too. Tinc is onsite to install every job we design. Working with the existing house crew, Tinc provides support and guidance needed to effectively and efficiently get the show hung, focus called, and cues written.
Consulting
The World Financial Center’s Winter Garden is an immense space, with a large, existing infrastructure and inventory. As technology changes and evolves, Tinc works with The Technical Director and Production Director in purchasing new gear while maintaining existing inventory. If questions arise during preproduction, Tinc is available to head off concerns before they slow load-in down.
Results
After nearly three years, Tinc and arts>World Financial Center have forged a close relationship. Roughly forty events a year keep Tinc’s creative juices flowing and The Winter Garden looking fabulous. This ongoing partnership speaks to the reason why Tinc was formed: to create great events with great people.
