Making Your Event Better Through Storytelling

Storytelling isn’t just a nice-to-have in event production — it’s the engine that drives engagement, generosity, and lasting connection. In this presentation, we walk through exactly how we helped Sudara Freedom Fund produce a compelling virtual event in 2020, during the height of COVID, and what every organization — nonprofit or corporate — can take…
October 2023 Production Update

October was one of our biggest months yet at Hand in Hand Productions — and we wanted to take a moment to share what our team accomplished and say a genuine thank you to the clients and crew who made it all possible. The month kicked off with a trip to Cortez, Colorado, where Jason…
Start With Your Why: Planning Events That Matter

Before we talk about cameras, audio, venues, or run of show, we always ask our clients one question: why? Why are you holding this event? Why will people show up — in person or online? Why does this matter to your organization right now? It sounds simple, but it’s the question most event planning skips…
REMI Production: How We Run Remote Events

What started as a proof of concept is now a reality. In this video, we demonstrate our REMI (Remote Integration) solution live — switching a full production at the Riverhouse in Bend, Oregon, while our team is physically located in Hermiston. You can see the multi-view screen from the venue in real time as we…

How the Pandemic Changed Video Production

The pandemic changed our industry — video production, events, what live experiences look like — in ways that turned out to be permanent. Some of it was painful. A lot of it made us better. And now, on the other side of it, we’re seeing the full picture of what that shift actually means for…
Why Strategic Planning Makes for Better Events

One of the things we talk to clients about most is the value of bringing us in early. Not at the end when the venue is booked and the run of show is locked — but at the beginning, when there’s still room to shape the experience around what actually matters. That early conversation changes…
What is a Livestream Event?

At Hand in Hand Productions, we get asked to produce all kinds of live events. But if you asked us which format we love most, the livestream is right at the top of the list. It’s one of the most powerful tools available to organizations today — and it’s far more flexible than most people…
Crook County School Board Recognition Award

We were deeply honored to be recognized by the Crook County School Board for three years of production and livestreaming support for their board meetings. This award means a lot to us — not because of the plaque, but because of what it represents: a long-term partnership built on reliability, consistency, and a shared commitment…
