A/V Requirements
FC does not use powerpoint or windows. He uses a mac and keynote, because he likes things that work first time. On occasion he may even use a PDF and resorts to powerpoint under extreme duress.
FC prefers to use his own laptop for his presentations because he has trust issues. Currently he presents on a 15″ MacBook Pro complete with his own bag of cables that includes the a selection HDMI connectors and a wireless presentation “clicker.” and some cool pointy laser things. His presentations are formatted to fit a 16x9 screen and does not need audio.
FC needs you to provide a mic (head mounted, lavaliere mic, hand held in that order of preference) FC does not like to present from a lectern if possible due to his energetic presentation style that makes you wonder if he is enthusiastic or just trying to avoid the snipers whilst on stage.
FC will also need you to provide a projector, power socket and drinks on stage. (He can be bribed to be even more energetic with M&Ms and Coca-Cola)
