Deadstorm Pirates Facade - Namco/Acme Design

Collaborating between Namco Japan, Namco America and a third party factory, this was refinement and execution of the client's napkin concept sketch for a prototype facade of a deluxe new game booth.

I designed each component to break down for international transport, to hide seams and to conceal speakers and electrical components, while ensuring compliance with UK Amusement safety standards to achieve UK ADIPS certification. Here also I designed the attacking Kraken arms, sculpted the vacuform buck for the Pirate skull and created custom light fixtures for the eyes. Under a strict delivery schedule I directed teams of fabricators both in-house and contracted to keep us all on the same page through assembly in multiple locations simultaneously.

At the 2011 EAS show in London I oversaw the first complete assembly of the facade components, to ensure any potential damage from transport, hired help, and final adjustments could be addressed in real time.
