“Looks GREAT David. Thank you SOOOOOOOO much”

What more can one ask for ……… appreciation from a client at the completion of a stressful job, completed in under 3 weeks. The sets for children’s stage show – ‘Barney’s Lets Imagine’ comprised of grass patches, and a tree with a baby bird in an egg. These sets had to inflate on demand and grow on stage. The elephant was an inflatable costume manned with a 2 person team. These kinds of 3D inflatables are almost impossible to pre-design completely. We prototype them first from a basic design then the art and crafting on the floor begins. It’s hands on demanding work with ideas and trials, testing and tweaking, until the magic spark ignites and the solution soon follows.

Often the motivation for a client choosing Giant inflatables is because they feel trust in our ability to understand their needs. Our design team rise to the challenge of realizing 2 dimensional images and transforming them into 3D forms. This Hybrid arch had to communicate - like a conversation - with the guests arriving for a convention at the renowned Hogs Breath café. Our brief was complimented with the toy hog and the challenge was on.

ANOTHER WINNER!!!!

Remember the inflatable wall, from our August 8th blog? WELL…….just to let you all know that it has just won an International Achievement Award at the 2007 IFAI (Industrial Fabrics Association International) Awards. The Inflatable walls made for Federation Square was selected from 387 entries from 13 different countries in the category of Interactive and Cold Air Inflatables. Judging was based on complexity, design, workmanship, uniqueness and function. Winning this award is an accomplishment recognized around the world and pays testament to the expertise and dedication of a winning team.
