Made some new burlap flags, ripped and distressed for an authentic Pirates of the Caribbean feel. The skull is the logo from the Re:magine Pirate radio show so we could properly represent the stage.
The new mast is made from pvc and wood with a pully system for easy installation. The sails were made from canvas drop cloths. I gave them a bit of distressing using spray paint. Attached the rope ladder, skelly and top flag and we were done! The height reached 26ft in total.
We even had a fog machine going to the canons this year but I wasn't able to get a picture. Next year, I promise!
We used H20 special fx lighting to create water effects which gave it a realistic ocean vibe.
The treasure chest was filled with fake gold coins, skulls, plastic gems and starfish. We rigged a little red light inside so it glowed in the evenings.
The giant compass and tentacles were back of course. These tentacles are inflatables made from a durable pvc fabric and always a wonderful addition to the area.Who knows what we will conjure up next year but I'm sure it will only keep growing bigger and better!
The Big Dub sign got a little love to match the new graphics this year and of course the giant mushrooms made an appearance but I was super excited to see the giant Kikiwawa!I came up with the idea to get a custom giant inflatable of him made. He turned out amazing! This big loveable guy has been the festival mascot in all the digital fliers for many years and it was a lot of fun to see him finally come to life. Another year of awesomeness in the books. Till next year Dubbers!
