Behold, the unveiling of SeaWorld San Diego’s beautiful “Blue Horizons” set. Engineered and built by Entech Creative Industries, under the direction of the Sea World San Diego team including Stan Myer, Darlene Walter and Scott Helmstedter. Entech Creative Industries is proud to have engineered and built this masterpiece; including the stage show set pieces, the wave forms, the lift system and the bridges.

“Blue Horizons”, a spectacular, innovative show unites sea and sky as it showcases majestic animals and spirited performers. The show features energetic bottlenose dolphins, magnificent pilot whales, a colorful array of exotic birds and amazing acrobatic performers. It is set in SeaWorld San Diego’s completely renovated Dolphin Stadium.

The Entech team developed a number of innovative techniques in constructing the set work which has significant performance demands upon it including the special needs of a marine environment.  Notably is the fabrication of the translucent wave forms. Using a translucent FRP material, Entech developed a special stiffening system for the panels that permitted the panels to be fabricated much more quickly and efficiently employing the use of CNC Waterjet pattern cutting.

“Only SeaWorld could create such a spectacular concept, a type of show that can be seen nowhere else in the world,” said the nationally acclaimed set designer, Stanley Meyer, responsible for the design of the “Blue Horizons” set.   “It sets a completely new benchmark for awe-inspiring entertainment.” Meyer, best known for his work designing the Broadway musical ”Beauty and the Beast,” created the set for SeaWorld Orlando’s “Blue Horizons,” which has been a hit with audiences there since 2005.

Using elements of the sea and sky — and a young girl’s vivid imagination — as his inspiration, Meyer designed a whimsical, yet dramatic, atmosphere with an immense rising sun, hundreds of iridescent bubbles, and an elaborate, 40-foot-high framework which envelopes the pool and balances divers and aerialists as they plunge from bungees and soar on “cloud swings.” While these characters sway through the sky and dive off the set, the true stars of the show grace the waters below.

Entech is honored to have been a valuable part of the dream team in bringing this imagination to life so that people can enjoy it every day.

On November 5, 2009, Entech Creative opened its doors for a GreenHouse open house where technological and environmental initiatives were brought together for a meet and greet social event. This open house, the second Entech has hosted this year, demonstrated our commitment to incorporating more green practices in our business, specifically our IMPACT (I Made Planet Affecting Choices Today) initiatives.

Guests toured Entech’s facilities and interacted with a lifelike talking Actroid courtesy of Entech’s partner Kokoro Company Ltd., website: http://kokoro-dreams.co.jp a company of Sanrio Group. Presentations were given by area businesses and organizations, many of whom have an environmental focus.

The evening was rounded out with great food and drinks, including sushi handmade at the event by Eiji Ogiyama, Manager of Robot Technology for Kokoro.

We believe our GreenHouse event was a great success, and we’d like to thank our guests, partners and speakers who helped make it happen.

In conjunction with our new IMPACT initiative, Entech will be hosting a “GREEN” open house on November 5th, 2009. Expect a technology, meet, greet, and social green hour featuring several of our green initiative partners, sharing their advice and experience. Our last open house was a booming success, with over 160 attendees and 13 technology partner participant companies.

Again, expect the best to showcase their technologies: Unique Image, Monster Media, DNP studios, Beloved, Wendy Wallenberg, etc.

But we know what you really like, so don’t worry. Tunes, drinks, and eats are on the house! November 5th is just around the corner, so make sure you don’t miss this opportunity and mark your calendars!

Entech Creative was recently recognized by Osceola County, Florida as being a minority / Woman Owned Business.  Following Entech’s naming of  National and Orange County WBE and MBE statuses earlier this year, the Osceola County MBE status will further allow Entech to bring more work and more jobs to Central Florida, strengthening our community and providing businesses in Osceola County the level of world class creativity, engineering, and fabrication for which  Entech Creative has become well known.

Billy Rae, someone relatively new to Entech Creative, has undoubtedly made a significant impact on how things work around here in the past year. Having worked in interior boating for 20+ years and assisting over 450+ companies, Billy is certainly a one-man carpentry force to be reckoned with.


Organization, organization, organization. The mantra Billy lives by. It’s common to see other employees referring to Billy for advice in just this matter. From working on the Ford Tower to Morocco, it’s not hard to see that his ideologies have worked for him nicely. It’s a bit entertaining to watch Billy always return tools to the exact place it belonged before moving along, but you have to admire that kind of meticulousness. “Everything has its place,” chants Billy.


His favorite job just happened to be involving the Ford Tower construction. Now, at first glance, Billy may not emanate the artsy type, but surprisingly enough, Billy thoroughly enjoyed working on the tower for just that reason. According to Billy, “the tower was not just another dull cookie cutter project, it involved a level of artistry that I rarely get a chance to work on; because of that, the project had more meaning to me.”


“Stay busy, and make sure you feel like you’ve accomplished something before you leave.” It’s hard not to admire someone that brings in this attitude day in and day out. If you’re working with Entech, you’re lucky enough to be working with Billy as well. Bravo, Billy.

This week, Entech President Anne Herzog went off site to support Orange County Commissioner Linda Stewart, who is currently running for Orange County Mayor.  This special event was the opening of Commissioner Stewart’s official campaign office in the Gatlin Shopping Center.

Anne and Linda spent a little time talking before the event this past Monday, about Commissioner Stewart’s strong support base and the upcoming elections.  Both are excited at the prospects for change and growth, and have become fast friends because of the tenacity and the strides each has made improving business and the community in Orange County.


Recently recognized by Orange county as an MBE, Entech is proud of our committment to diversity, and happy to wave our flag supporting Linda’s onward march towards Mayor.
