Pre match we provided 4 flame units to enhance the players entrance to the pitch and post match we provided a rooftop spectacular for the lifting of the cup and confetti for the photo opportunity.

Shell Shock were commissioned by FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) on behalf of the Artists, Nick Crowe and Ian Rawlinson to produce a series of explosive effects fired from within Gallery 1 of the building on Wood Street in Liverpool.
From Shell Shock's point of view this was a fascinating project, everything we know about designing a display had to be thrown away... we fired numerous series of pyrotechnic sequences which were then filmed, effects were deliberately fired at the walls and ceilings (which had been covered in plywood and then painted to look like the original gallery).
