HIRE THE INVISIBLE UNDERGROUND
Installations
- Custom large-scale sculptures that will make your event magical and memorable.
- This ten-foot long Watermelon Dragon installation involved fabrication of a custom steel armature, and on-site carving of 14 watermelons and two Fiji pineapples. Awed event attendees were served the red fruit from the watermelons used. The sculpture captured attention online and in print immediately after the event (Reddit, New York Magazine, Huffington Post).
Video Production
- Unique time-lapse carvings and stop-motion animations for invitations, commercials, video shorts and more.
- This wedding Save-The-Date video was created from a single watermelon. Using a reverse time-lapse technique, the lobster transforms into sprouting flowers, and finally back into a watermelon with text on the skin. Combining the groom's love of fruit and a symbol of the wedding's locale (Maine lobster), this invitation set the mood for an incredible event.
