Booking
When making a booking remember that it is first in first served rule and over the summer months weekend spots will fill up quickly. Once you have paid your deposit towards the event our services are guaranteed at your event.
Screen Size
The price of hiring an Outdoor Movie Screen can vary greatly according to the size selected. The best way to decide what size screen you will need for your event is to determine or predict the size of the audience. There are some simple rules to follow with this model which are:
- 250 people = 6m x 3m screen
- 500 people = 8m x 4m screen
- 750 people = 10m x 5m screen
- 1000+ people = 12m x 6m screen
As the size of screen increases in size so does the cost which also means better sound system and projection equipment.
Other Uses of the Screen
Remember playing films is only one form of entertain that our screen can provide the Big Screen lends it’s self to much more than that including; Xbox competitions, live camera feeds, sponsorship ads, live streaming from another event, watching the big game, rock concerts ,etc. If you can think it up the Big Screen will not let you down.
Licensing
Licensing the film or content that you want to play on the night is very important to avoid any major fines and or lawsuits. Once you have decided what you would like played on the big screen contact Big Screen Hire and we can help you with the legal requirements of licensing. Fees can range for licensing a film from $100 – $600 depending on usage and the type of film.
