Confetti Creations and Coldplay at the Brit Awards 2009

Confetti Creations has just finished 3 days at the Brit Awards at Earls Court providing butterfly confetti effects for Chris Martin from Coldplay.

The effects consisted of 3 cues, one on each of the chorus of Viva la Vida.

To produce the effect Coldplay hired 12 confetti storms, 4 extra large venturi blowers, 3 extra large spinners and 250kgs of red, white and blue butterfly confetti. All were installed within the allotted time, and the final effect was stunning.

Confetti Creations launches range of dissolvable confetti

Confetti Creations now supplies water dissolvable confetti. The confetti has already been used at several UK events and weddings. It's ideal for using in churchyards or other public places where a fast clear up is essential.

Olympic Handover

Confetti Creations and our sister company, MTFX, were proud to be asked to provide the special effects outside Buckingham Palace for the Visa 2012 party to celebrate the hand over of the Olympics from Beijing to England.

With daylight being a major factor in the decision-making for the type of the effects we could use, we opted for 20 CO2 jets to be hidden under the stage with 80 small cylinders daisy-chained together. Unfortunately we were restricted by the stage height and were unable to use the large cylinders. The CO2 jets were then linked to a DMX controller and given to the lighting designer to operate the fast chases and complex sequences seen.

For the finale of the event we placed 6 medium MTFX master blasters around the perimeter of the main stage area from which we fired our  new “NO MESS Confetti” which is a white tissue paper that dissolves on contact with water, and which enabled a fast clear up of the site after the event.
