The internationally distributed magazine primarily covers the application of sound, lighting, video, staging design and technologies in the creative environment of concert touring, theatre, festivals, live music venues and special events, no matter how big or small. We endeavour to cover all aspects of production support throughout the year. Since the spring of 2004, Mondiale Publishing Ltd. has adminstered the day-to-day management of the Production Services Association (PSA). The PSA and its members - the best live event service companies, technicians and designers - work to set, raise and maintain standards within our sector. Total Production International incorporates a regular PSA Action bulletin as part of its monthly contents, as a service to Association members and other interested parties. Total Production International is published 12 times a year, is available digitally and is backed up by our fortnightly e-newsletter, our dedicated website at www.tpimagazine.com and our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
EDITORIAL The backbone of Total Production International s editorial coverage is its live Production Profile reports, supported by some of the best photography in the business. Since its inception, Total Production International has reported on hundreds of productions from all around the globe, often with exclusive access. No other magazine covers more shows in as much detail as TPi. This approach gives a real world view of how technology and design is being applied in the creative environment, giving the ultimate reference for tour managers, production managers, event coordinators, promoters, engineers, manufacturers, distributors, service companies and end users. Our Event Focus section hones in on a specific area of a live event, bringing the touring and live event technology news to the forefront of the magazine, and our interviews and extensive coverage of relevant trade shows ensures we keep our readers up to speed with the latest technology and information about how people are leading the industry forward. Our In The Spotlight feature focusses on a recent product launch and delivers an R&D perspective on where the technology in question fits into the market place. Technical trends and innovation are a key part of engaging our readership. TPi also has an On The Road feature in which we visit a city or region in order to visit manufacturers, rental houses, designers and rehearsal studios, ensuring that our content remains as personable as possible. With that in mind, 2014 saw the introduction of Clocking Off, a personal column written by industry faces in which they reveal how they've raised money for chairty. After all, we're all about the people behind the scenes. Our Production Guide provides a comprehensive list of suppliers to the live event production industry, which is currently growing online (email your entry to: tpi@mondiale.co.uk). DIGITAL DOMAIN The TPi website - www.tpimagazine.com - features a digital edition of the magazine, extra content and serves as an up-to-the-minute news portal for the industry. Video stories and interviews direct from live events add another dimension to TPi media. We also have a free app for all smart devices which delivers the magazine direct to your phone each month. Our Facebook and Twitter pages also offer the industry a forum for debate and news sharing.
