Kirk Covington - Shake that Ass
While not directly associated with HITKOR, this Music Video by Kirk Covington was shot on the HITKOR stage. The theme of this set was a Boho loft that would be a good place to party.
Production images are screen captures from the Music Video.
Ministry
This set was designed to go with the aesthetic of the band. Their previous music video took place in a very industrial backdrop, and this set was created to match that style.

En Vogue
With all of the glitz and the glam, the marble walls and crystal chandeliers was created to give the Gala and En Vogue a high class backdrop on which to perform and present the official launch of HITKOR.

The Guest List
Hosted by Stephen Kramer Glickman, he invites celebrity guests including singers, comedians, a magician, and even the one and only Fabio to come and perform during a grand party.
Watch and see who made The Guest List.
This series has so far consisted of four episodes featuring a wide variety of talent in a format inspired by Playboy After Dark. The set was designed to be as bright and colorful as its host.

A Salute to the Big Band Greats
In a moment where HITKOR partnered with Kares to raise money for charity, a salute to the greats of the Big Band circle was performed. During this event a classical backdrop of marble and crystal reminiscent of old opera houses gave the performers a welcoming stage on which to perform.

Jason Richardson
This metal band performed on a set inspired by an old industrial warehouse showing hanging windows with metal ladders, valves, and fans in the background.

D.L. Hughley
This Comedy Set was created to represent a cool speakeasy where anyone would love to spend the evening and listen to their favorite comedians while sipping an Old Fashioned. This set will potentially be recreated for future comedy performances and tweaked slightly to match the performer.
This set was altered slightly and shared with Lavell Crawford

Dorian Holley
When you take to the streets or the local shopping center it is easy to draw a serendipitous crowd. This set was a small but inviting streetscape.

Prop Book
As the one who manages inventory of props, it is important to maintain a well constructed prop book.
This allows anyone who needs to reference or pull props to know what it looks like, how big it is, and where it is kept in the warehouse.
These images are intended to provide an example and not represent the full extent of the prop book that was created and is maintained for HITKOR.
