In the Summer of 2008 we embarked on one of the most unique movie release promotions ever conceived. We were challenged to construct a 15' tall likeness of Eddie Murphy for the movie Meet Dave. The idea was to recreate the movie poster for a nationwide tour. Working with Gentle Giant Studios, who obtained scans of the actor and created 3D models, we had less than 3 weeks to complete the project before hitting the road. The giant head traveled on a trailer which contained an internal hydraulic mechanism. Once at the location, the head was slid to the rear of the trailer, lifted, and the shoulders and neck pieces were then set in place. At each stop, participants were invited inside Eddie's head and could hang out of either ear, mimicking the poster. Stops included Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and New York City.
