Shipping Wars features Themendous !!!

It seems now that my posting updates here is always behind, due to the fact that yes, we are busy.  That's a great problem to have actually, but my apologies do go out to the people who do follow this blog, either direct, or indirect.  We have worked on some great projects this year and I hope to post a summary of them soon.  Meantime however, here is one that will knock your socks off.... This coming October 2nd will be A&E's Shipping Wars season finally, and what better way to sign off for the season, than featuring us: THEMENDOUS?!? If you are not familiar with the show, Each episode dives into the cutthroat world of heavy-duty movers as they battle for the chance to transport the unshippable. And in our industry: the THEMING industry, pretty much everything we do is "unshippable".  The competition begins with uShip, the world's largest online marketplace for independent truckers. Every day, thousands of shipments are put up for auction. The battle is ...

Google Eclair floats away !

So it turns out that the Google HQ was seiged by some crazy rain storms this past Friday 13th and, well... our Giant 10ft Long Google Eclair went afloat! As most of you already know, our studio has created all of the Google Lawn Sculptures and so, we always find it cool to see all the activity of the sculptures there on the lawn.    "The Google Sculpture Lawn" in front of   Building 44   (as it is officially known) has turned into a tourist attraction stop because of the sculptures.  On any given day one will see several bus's filled with people, stop, get out and take photos in front of the Themendous* sculpts, get back in the bus and leave!  -WHAT?!?  WAIT !!! Where's everyone going???-   Many famous celebrities and role model personalities visiting Google have also posed in front of our Google Sculpts such as Lady Gaga, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Willam Defoe, Busta Rhymes,  retired General Colin Powell, and of course; the Andr...

Hershey's pot of gold Commercial

Wow! Just found this on YouTube! (gotta love Youtube) A project Blast form the past! We designed and made the flowers in this commercial about 13 yrs ago. Fake flowers needed to have a root system that dropped dirt as it was pulled from the pot. It was a cool challenge and if memory serves me correctly they got a steal at about $300! Since then we have made several projects for TVm theater and cinema, so if you need anything along those lines, don't be shy, give us a call!

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 PREVIEW

One of our latest projects: Our Victoria's Secret PINK dog mirror balls make their appearance in this youtube video at 4:19 in. We made a total of 8 dogs at 3ft long each. We then scored the internet for pink glass tile suppliers and cleaned up everything out there. Yes folks, there are NO MORE pink glass tiles available. This was a great and challenging project to say the least, as there were the usual delays that happen when you take on not only a custom project, but a prestigious one as well. Everything had to be spot on to Victoria's Secret Pink Brand. The usual multitude of emails, texts and conference calls between our shop, the local production studio and the VS France office took place. Once we were off and running with our sculptures, we needed to find the pink glass mirror tiles and as mentioned above, there were not many out there and all needed to be special ordered and cut to our specifications. Those tiles then needed to be overnighted, or we would not b...
