Bye bye Beat the Drop


In 2014 Pepsi asked us if we could remix this viral video and general madness in order to turn it into a festival activation. BEAT THE DROP was the result. A giant motorised machine, with 5600 LED's and filled with more than ten thousand ping pong balls. The 'ball-pit' reinvented!

Today, two years, 20 festivals, 5000 drops, and 134K views on Facebook later we are retiring this machine. Thanks for the memories!

Special thanks to Joors, Niels A, Thierry, Multischriever and the rest of the team.
