This unique puppet combines a giant inflatable skin with a complex cable skeleton which controls eight independently articulated legs. The mechanism enables precise, lifelike movements controlled by a single puppeteer.
Arachnobot is safe and fun for all the family. All ages are both terrified and enchanted by the puppet, which can be interacted with as it navigates the crowds, both indoors and outdoors.
Championed by the Discovery Channel, Fox News, Wired magazine and a YouTube sensation, Arachnobot is now making a firm impact worldwide, with successful tours of the Middle East, America and Europe.
Tim has designed and built a stunning array of large-scale animated inflatables for prestigious outdoor events, catwalk shows, brand activations and major theatres including innovative Arachnobot and Ocho which are now globally renowned, having performed to crowds of hundreds of thousands of people in four different continents.
With a keen talent for marrying strength and structure with movement and fluidity, Tim has energetically embraced an eclectic range of commissions for leading theatre companies, advertising agencies and outdoor events creating bespoke large scale centrepieces and animated inflatables.
