Ants @ Ushuaia - Backpack Inflatables

We were tasked with the creation of giant inflatable decor to mimic a trail of ants. Each piece would be carried through the audience by performers in black body suits (human ants). We had two major obstacles: providing portable power to each inflatable; and how three metre tall inflatables would be carried securely and safely through a large crowd. Our unique solution would later be christened the 'Backpack Inflatables'.

Inflatable objects shaped like leaves, a star, and an apple with two people handling them.

Backpack Development

It was essential that the backpack was light enough for the performer; yet robust, durable and with sufficient power. Lithium ion batteries and powerful slimline blowers proved ideal and fitted perfectly into our backpack design.

Delivery - Our Promise

Despite the ground breaking nature of this project, we delivered on time and on budget. All the client boxes were ticked. But the ultimate validation came from the incredible response from the audience; turning a good time into a truly memorable one.
