More Than Meets The Eye: Transformers Take Over Time Square.

One of the great things about being a theatrical labor provider is that every show is different. Sometimes you need to set up some staging, other times you need to place a 21 foot robot in the center of Time Square!

Such was the case when the Transformers 3: Dark side of the Moon Red Carpet took over Time Square. A 21-foot high replica of the heroic Autobot 'Bumblebee' was one of the many eye catchers on a dazzling set.

HMI par's lit up the elegant red carpet, which trailed towards crashed taxi cabs and cars. Along side these were racing cars adorned with a variety of cannons and guns. Showgun lights shone brightly in front of these cars adding a futuristic feel to the proceedings.

Another great scenic element was the upside down, wrecked car in front of the Transformers logo (Pictured above center). Smoke rose from underneath it, giving the 'just smashed' feel to the set piece.

Hundreds of onlookers gathered and watched the event with many children looking at the giant Bumblebee in awe, causing mum and dad a headache for what their child will ask for next Christmas.
