Mosquito were appointed by Manchester City Council to develop the website for the launch of Manchester's first day parade 'Out of this World'. The parade website needed a quick turnaround so appointed Mosquito for the fast, agile and responsive digital and design service we offer.

'Out of this World' took place on 20th June, the spectacular event saw 75,000 people lining the streets of Manchester with an additional 1,800 people taking part from over 80 different community groups, charities and companies across Manchester. This unique and original parade was about celebrating what the city's resident's love about their city, the dreams it inspires and then bringing it all to life.

Working with the Manchester City Council's in house design team, M4, Mosquito brought the 'Out of this world' characters to life through motion graphics and flash animation. This colourful display of moving characters and carnival theme was how we envisaged the event, which of course did not disappoint. The streets were lined with extraordinary floats, costume dancers, inflatables, larger than life characters, acrobats and performers.

Anthony Diver, Director of Mosquito commented:

"This spectacular display of colour, energy and celebration was a credit to the residents of Manchester. The parade was created by residents of Manchester working together to celebrate pride in our City; I hope this will become an annual fixture in the Manchester calendar."
