Anatomy of an Event - Earl Bakken's 80th B'Day

Keith directing live TV with the Multi-Media Live System
A number of years ago, there was a full page ad in Time Magazine for Commodore Business Machines featuring a picture of Keith Nealy directing a live show amongst a plethora of computer monitors. The copy began, “Does Keith Nealy get nervous? Apparently not.” The ad touted the reliability of their computers and Keith’s calm under fire. His reputation for successful shows was put to the test for “A Place in Our Hearts,” an event that involved more live elements than a Ringling Brothers Circus. The event was designed and directed by Keith and his partner, Sara Nealy, with military precision. Read Full Article
Feedback from Clients and Guests

image-5“I have had the pleasure of working with Keith Nealy Productions over the course of several years on a number of different productions.

They bring a combination of creativity, professionalism, and enthusiasm to bear to each of their projects that makes the process a pleasure, and the results are stunning.

They have successfully captured the essence and vision of North Hawaii Community Hospital, and they have presented it tastefully and passionately in numerous productions.

In many ways they have been a voice for the vision of the hospital and Earl Bakken's dream for healthcare in North Hawaii."

Kenneth Riff, MD, Executive Director,
Hawaii Heart Brain Center at NHCH

I especially enjoyed the use of technology - the cameras, large screens and video segments - to make everything feel exciting, like it was a live television broadcast, and we were all in it. It certainly made for a much more stimulating evening, one that people talked about for months afterward."

Charles Salzberg, MD., with wife Sara

Sara, of all the things you and Keith do, what would you say is the most valuable service you offer your clients?

 

Sara:

Without hesitation, I would have to say experience.  That gray in Keith’s beard didn’t come without a price.  He’s been producing film, television, and live shows since he was sixteen years old… only now he plays with more expensive toys.  He’s also been a communications consultant to many CEO’s, and he knows more about this business than anyone I’ve ever met.  He was a top creative director in New York, working all over the world… and has always been driven to create productions that generate results.  So, no matter what we are producing for our clients, they get the benefit of over thirty years of hard-won experience.

Keith, your shows and productions are so packed with creativity, technology and high production value… what would you say is your most important asset for creating a successful show?

Keith:
Well, believe it or not, I would have to say my partner, Sara.   She is my touchstone, my alter-ego, and she possesses a highly developed artistic sensibility.  She’s a very powerful woman who comes from being a successful meeting planner for firms like Prudential-Bache Securities and AT&T Network Systems and it has always been an honor to work with her....Read Full Article

Welcome ...to the November issue of Splash

In this issue, we are going to focus on “The Anatomy of a Show” and highlight an event we did in celebration of Earl Bakken’s 80th birthday. 

Keith Nealy Productions (KNP) really pulled out all the stops on this event, producing what was called "the largest event at the Hapuna Beach Prince Resort in recent memory." 

As many of you know, Earl Bakken invented the wearable pacemaker, and he has arguably done more for the Big Island than any other individual. It was only fitting that his 80th birthday be celebrated with style and fanfare. 

Not one for a lot of hoopla, Earl wanted the event to raise both money and awareness for his pride and joy, North Hawaii Community Hospital (NHCH).  A lot of money was raised, and a good time was had by all... so join us to take you behind the scenes of this historic event.
