Red Bull Soapbox Race London 2013 - The Autobots
Every designers dream is to see his creation come to life and be appreciated and loved amongst all. What followed was 22 thousand screaming spectators, press bombardment, countless articles and features written World wide... Red Bull, Sky, BBC, ITV, Top Gear, the list is endless! All whilst donning a pair of man leggings!
We were selected from thousands of other hopeful entries to take part in The Red Bull Soapbox Race event to be held at Alexandra Palace in London on July 14 2013.
I played the role of Bumblebee as Team Captain and Head Designer.
All of my ability's were put to the test; I was heavily involved with the project throughout.
The 3D Modelling of the Exterior and Graphics, the Design of Chassis, Axles, Steering & Breaks, The Character Design and Costume Build, Sourcing the Materials and the Idea behind the Stage Opening Performance.
It was a true all together an awe-inspiring experience!
More seat padding required next time around!
