2013 The second Quarter

June already !!!

This year is just flying by, it seems I have very little chance to sit and catchup on even the simplest of tasks. So what have FunFear been up to? Product testing, designing all sorts of crazy stuff, building amazing attractions..??

Well actually spring cleaning, not the most "Rock n Roll" or technical of terms but yet one of life's necessary evils. I have actually seen the colour of my desk for the first time in months and that is actually the truth! It has been long overdue. A complete restructure has been carried out and some major changes to our equipment storage and workshops. With new products coming in it has been a perfect time to actually throw out some of the crap that we just seem to hoard! Although it is believed that if something is broken we can still salvage parts from it and is often the case, we don't seem to discard the bits we don't need! Well that has been sorted and a very brutal approach and for now a system appears to be in place. With new flight cases, storage system and more racking I think we have it cracked.

So what else is new? The new website is in its final stages and being tested, there are a few nice touches and some additional information on there. Blog links to current stories will also be accessible direct from within the site. With a downloads page being added and a much more streamlined approach we are happy with the progress to date. We have also added a few tweaks to the current site and and testing the downloads page on there right now, so please feel free to have a look at the media pack that we have added as a PDF brochure. www.funfear.co.uk

Projects, well there are a few in the mix right now, our annual projects obviously taking up the usual time at this point in the year. Ensuring both staff and equipment are on site at the right time can be a logistical nightmare at times, but always interesting.

A complete re-design of one of the attractions for Tulleys Shocktober Fest and a revamp for several others is filling many hours currently. Sourcing props and designing both new lighting and sound systems as well as coming up with something new is always a great challenge. The new designs for Tulleys are already turning into lots of fun, I think it is a great concept and really looking forward to seeing this one come to fruition. Below is one of the teaser pictures for the new attraction.



Several other very interesting builds have come our way but at the moment I am afraid two of those attractions are under tight wraps and awaiting official launches and press release. So news will be released at the same time via this blog and Facebook pages.
However work is continuing to produce an amazing lighting system for a very unusual product called wovin wall. Although it is already possible to light this product, we have been approached to create a spectacular display and have risen to this and pictures will follow of that installation upon completion.
