Arches, Drops & Races
People and Balloons make for great photos and a great backdrop is asking for a social media share. There’s nothing better than seeing smily faces in front, behind or under them. When I build a wall or arch I never get to see the fun it leaves behind – but after a social media search […]
Spar balloon wall built on the 1st Floor, Barclaycard Arena. As these walls get more popular it’s becoming important to incorporate a logo. In the 1990’s precision walls were good for a while until the star cloth became a better option. Now that everybody wants to share a selfie (or a snap of their kids) […]
To check availability and get a balloon wall delivered near you complete the below: Images above are examples of various Organic balloon wall installations I’ve built using 11”, 16” and 36” random sized balloons (that’s the meaning of organic here – stuff made with different sizes balloons). These are all air filled and can include […]
Here’s some 36″ Purple Violet balloons printed 2 sides & helium filled for the IAAF. These were installed in Hall 3, ICC, Birmingham. Screen printing 36″ can be an expensive process so sometimes we’ll use vinyl graphics if we can. Vinyls save the cost of giant screens, setup and ink.
My first installation at KOKO in Camden, 500 drop theatre style. See also these Theatre drops for Wicked.
Here’s our first drop at The Hammersmith Apollo. A slightly tricky install, we had to make sure no pull lines cast any shadows over the huge screen. Not easy as I had my usual 2 lines coming from the centre. Also below is a photo from The Apollo roof:
Here’s my first drop at the Barbican Centre in London. This was 1000 balloons held back stage and you can see part of the drop in action in the tweets below:
Here’s my reference library images that I can link to from other posts. This includes a gallery, video and recent tweets.
@balloon Evolution of a balloon website over 20 years: About – David Saker UPDATE 2023 – After getting though the lockdown years all sides of my business are seeing growth. This sounds good but the main reason is because everything is open (nobody wants a balloon arch over a closed shop). The most important area […]
Amazing to help celebrate 9 spellbinding years for Wicked this September 2015. They dropped 2000 Emerald Green balloons and were lucky enough to watch the show, it’s a fantastic story and the songs just blow you away. We’ve rigged this drop for the theatre production Wicked on 15 occasions at The Apollo Theatre, Victoria, […]
