Hollyland delivers reliable wireless intercom tools to keep production teams connected—no matter how big the stage.

Meet Jed Regala

At First Light Studios, Creative Director Jed Regala leads productions that span music, film, and live events. From SB19’s I Want You music video to Dilaw – Nilalang, his work reflects a wide range of storytelling formats. With experience across both film and live production, Jed knows that in high-pressure environments, seamless communication is what keeps everything on track.

Challenge & Setup

When SB19 launched their SAW Kick Off Concert at the 55,000-capacity Philippine Arena, Jed’s team faced a massive challenge: ensuring tight coordination between cameras, directors, and tech crews spread across one of the largest indoor venues in the world.

The team deployed 20 Solidcom C1 Pro headsets with a HUB, positioned centrally between the main cameras and the tech booth. With 27 crew members working across filming and event management, the system became the backbone of real-time coordination.
“The Philippine Arena is huge,” Jed explained. “Without an intercom system like this, we would have lost communication and missed crucial shots.”

Staying Connected in a Mega Venue

The Solidcom C1 Pro proved indispensable during the concert. Its wide coverage range kept crew members connected across the Philippine Arena, from the tech booth to handheld cameras on the floor and operators near the stage. The hands-free, full-duplex design allowed camera operators to receive real-time directions from the director while staying focused on their rigs, keeping every movement fluid and every frame on cue. At the same time, the long battery life powered the entire production from start to finish, so no one had to step away in the middle of the performance.

Even under the pressure of a live concert with tens of thousands of fans in the audience, the system delivered clear and consistent audio. The crew could respond instantly to changes in timing, lighting, or stage movement without missing a moment. “It’s trusted because it just works,” Jed said, highlighting that in a venue of this scale, reliability is everything.

Takeaways

For Jed and the First Light Studios team, the Solidcom C1 Pro with HUB has quickly established itself as the go-to solution for large-scale productions. In an event as complex as the SB19 Kickoff Concert, where thousands of moving parts had to come together seamlessly, the system’s reliability, straightforward setup, and robust performance gave the crew the confidence to execute without hesitation. It ensured that every department—camera, direction, lighting, and technical control—remained aligned throughout the night.

Reflecting on the experience, Jed emphasized the impact of the system: “This system is the reason we stayed on top of every shot.” For him, the Solidcom C1 Pro is not just another piece of gear but a critical foundation that makes high-stakes productions possible.

From live concerts with tens of thousands in attendance to multi-camera shoots requiring precise coordination, Hollyland continues to provide production teams with tools that deliver clarity, efficiency, and peace of mind.
