SHOWS COMPLETED 1996, 1997
BMW Series 5 Launch Pauanui - For BMW the project was to build the illusion of a life size air field at night. The show was chaos. "Close encounters of the Third Kind" - futuristic crew in white Decon Suits and masks ,Air craft hangars, flares, lights and action, sound so loud it was a palpable feeling vibrating through the very ground the audience was standing on. With fields of dry Ice mist we opened a laser tunnel to another dimension, flew a flying saucer through the field of view. The saucer landed and the new series BMW was produced live from thin air in the middle of a cone of light. The next day everything had vanished - air field and all.
