Working for our colleagues from Visual Act the winches were used during the Grand Opening Show of the 7th Asian Winter Games in Astana, Kazakhstan on January 30th. 32 winches were used as 16 2D objects to fly over-dimensional horses, moon and stars and birds (+actors!) through the 'airspace' ;-) of the football stadium in Astana. All of the winches were mounted on a rig under the ceiling of the stadium.
