About: The Blue Guy

 The idea for The Show Syndicate sparked in 2002 when graphics wizard Kyle Weir put together a powerpoint presentation high-lighting the skills of Chris Nathan of Lobster Lighting, Kyle Weir of eyemix Video, and Bret Fierce of Fierce Audio. The three had been working together for years on productions of all types and sizes. They came to the conclusion in late 2003 that combining their individual skill sets and going into business together was actually a great idea.  The Show Syndicate became a reality in early 2004 . The Blue Guy branding is a nod to the classic and clean look of the mob syndicates as portrayed in Hollywood films. No nefarious activities here though (other than the occasional intra-office nerf gun skirmishes)….  We realized that by combining the individual entities, by definition, resulted in a Show Syndicate. 

Located in Minneapolis, MN The Show Syndicate offers skilled technicians to lead all facets of a major show, as well as equipment rental, pre-show production, technical direction, CAD, project management, and video direction.

We also offer the very best in design services. Whether you need Audio, Lighting, or Video we can design and implement a customized system just for you.
