FASHION WEEK
RUNWAY 7AT SONY HALL
Delivering broadcast-quality production for a week of nonstop runway shows.
The challenge
ONE WEEK, COUNTLESS MOVING PARTS
Over the course of seven days, Runway 7 hosted more than 120 runway shows, each with its own creative vision, media assets, and production requirements. Designers frequently arrived with last-minute content that needed to be loaded, formatted, tested, and displayed across the venue's LED walls and LED floor—all within an aggressive production schedule.
With limited setup time before rehearsals, a packed audience, and a continuous livestream to maintain, every transition had to happen quickly and flawlessly while keeping the production moving.

Our approach
BUILDING A PRODUCTION DESIGNED TO ADAPT IN THE MOMENT
Rather than relying on a single static camera, we introduced new production approaches—including a 30-foot rail camera running the length of the runway and a roaming wireless camera—to generate more dynamic coverage for both livestream viewers and post-event content.
We also created a dedicated interview environment where designers could discuss their collections, allowing Runway 7 to pair runway footage with designer interviews in polished highlight reels that extended each show's reach beyond the runway.
Throughout the week, our team continually adapted to changing production needs. When venue Wi-Fi couldn't support the volume of content arriving throughout the day, we secured a hardwired network connection to keep show assets moving on schedule. We also expanded the venue's communications capabilities by deploying additional comms systems, improving coordination across video, audio, streaming, and stage operations while resolving issues as they emerged.
From livestream delivery and LED content management to post-production and designer interviews, every show was delivered on schedule despite constantly changing production demands.
By anticipating challenges beyond the original scope and arriving prepared with additional equipment, expertise, and contingency plans, we helped Runway 7 deliver a seamless experience for designers, attendees, and online audiences. The event's continued success—including a fully booked roster of designers for the following year—reflected a production that kept pace with one of Fashion Week's busiest schedules.
The outcome
A PRODUCTION READY FOR WHATEVER CAME NEXT
