A 15m inflatable giant on 4 hovercraft platforms floated onto the pitch at the euro 2000 opening ceremony, we used hovercraft platforms so as not to damage the pitch which of course had to stay in perfect condition for the game, puppeteers operated the arms and legs so that he appeared to walk into the stadium in Brussels. He ran around the pitch and then kicked a huge ball to start off the Euro 2000 football competition.

see the video linked below to get an idea of the scale and the smoothness of movement. (quicktime needed)
