About the Author and Group Creator

In July of 2016, Clem Harrod, of CLEMCO.AV, created VPSG as a means to mentor and assist as many Video Projectionist as possible. As a fellow projectionist with over 20 years of industry related experience, Clem understood he was a technician that didn’t have all the answers. Thus, Clem wanted to create a room and gather the people who did. Founded on the sharing is caring principle, VPSG is now one of the most active groups geared specifically towards technicians in the Live Event Production Industry.

In addition to starting VPSG, Clem established, CLEMCO.HR, SAVW (Spouses of AV Workers), and co-created The Production Channel Blog and Podcast in an effort to fill voids he saw in the industry. Ultimately, Clem’s desire is to help the people and families that are so near and dear to his heart. Clem believes it is the people, and their uniqueness, that makes this industry so great, and it is his duty to support them in any way he can.

What People Are Saying

VPSG has been one of the fastest growing, industry related, support communities on Facebook. It generates numerous discourses about things related to video projection technology and setup. I imagine this is due to the exchange of ideas and expertise between novice and seasoned Projectionists from around the globe. I have found so few groups where I can get quality information on event projection that VPSG has become my go-to source.

The Video Projection Support Group has been a great community full of resources and contacts, and I recommend it to all of the students who pass through Evolve’s projection classes.

When I first started as a Video Projectionist, access to information and other technicians was not readily available. The creation of platforms like VPSG change the industry and our ability to communicate with one another. This group brings technicians and projection technology together to help resolve challenges. Through sharing information with the 1,000+ members, we are increasing our knowledge and creating a better experience for our clients.

VPSG is a great resource for Video Projectionist to share industry trade knowledge that is not easily accessible online. That was a big reason why I joined this group. I built my career on learning from those before me, and I wanted the ability to share my unique experiences as well.

I also see VPSG as a resource for myself, because there are others in this group with many more years of experience. Ideas and/or questions can be bounced off one another, and a lot of times the replies are faster and more helpful then calling any manufacturer customer service number.
