Arches, Drops & Races
Following on from our first Disney installation at HMV we have just completed 4 retail store decorations at Merry Hill, The Bullring, Coventry & Nuneaton. This time the promotion was 2 DVDs for £12 which is a great deal for some of my favourite films. The promotion lasts 6 weeks so we’re returning to the […]
We were back at The Apollo for wicked 10. This show just keeps running and amazing to think we’ve been installing these drops since the very 1st year. It’s been like a balloon drop apprenticeship, we’ve got slowly better and it’s good to use the skills in other theatres.
Here’s my reference library images that I can link to from other posts. This includes a gallery, video and recent tweets.
Following last years fun in Blackpool we were back again this year with a repeat order at The Bibas 2016. I took an extra crew member this time (there were 3 of us) because of the large table centres. I wanted more help at that difficult moment when the net rises and it swings over the […]
Hi David Thank you so much for the information. Our balloons started on Thursday so have 4 days to go. The kids and adults are really enjoying this PTA event. We were totally blown away by the support from the families in the school and this event has raised over £1200. We decided not to […]
I’m always looking to add a little extra health and safety where we can. You can never do too much so on a couple of indoor events recently I’ve been using this hazard tape to clearly mark out the base plates.Health & Safety needs to be embraced so I feel each time I add a […]
Full story: Herne Bay Plane Crash Part of The Turbulent Display Team’s routine involves popping balloons during breath-taking manoeuvres. An AAIB spokesman confirmed: “The possibility that the engine power loss was as a result of ingesting a fragment of balloon following a balloon bursting display is just one of the aspects being considered by investigation.
Pop Goes Balloon Art Why do grownups still go crazy for balloons? Is it a product of the human subconscious, a desire to return to the carefree state of childhood?
10 Injured Ten people were injured at a mall in Orlando, Florida, after shoppers mistook the sound of popping balloons for gunshots. Since switching to building arches with frames I return each time to burst the balloons. I’m more aware than every that when I start this process it can cause a bit of a […]
The frames I use for each arch are a long term investment and I’ve built them up over time. Im lucky to own a large number which enables me to do multiple outdoor arches on the same day. For me the key to owning this many frames is charging a fair price for 1 arch. […]
This year Müller sponsored the Anniversary Games at the Olympic stadium. We worked with UK Athletics last year to brand their events in Red, White & Blue but with Müller sponsoring the British Championships and Anniversary Games the colour scheme was changed to Red & White. We installed an arch within the stadium, over the VIP entrance and over the Müller hospitality marquee. […]
We installed 4 of these Rainbow Balloon Arches on 19th July. 3 Were located in London and 1 in Staffordshire. The access was after 5pm and they needed to last 3 days. It’s nice to have a generous space with a really high ceiling which we know is not always possible. Once we’ve travelled & […]
