When the show hit Broadway, Casey was contacted by the show's technical branch, Juniper Street Productions, to assist in solving problems related to bubble machine effects. In both cases, Casey was able to help guide the creative team toward final decisions.


Macro-Photography Art

In January of 2016 Casey initiated a collaboration with accomplished photographer and artist George Fellner.


George's previous accolades in the art field include stunning macro-photography of stones and crystals. Some of his "models" had existed on earth for literally billions of years.

Samsung requested and received giant, free floating soap bubbles in an unusual environment; an image that could be digitally melded with other fantastically colorful imagery shot that day. All part of creating a commercial to promote their most recent, cutting edge digital camera. The skateboard park, located at Chelsea Pier 62 on Manhattan's west side, hugs the mighty Hudson River. Meaning: nothing to stop the southerly winds from racing full throttle into the skate park, spinning vortexes of warm, sticky air among the launch ramps, banks, and bowls of a pro skate park. (90 degrees and a bright, hot, totally unimpeded sun to boot!)

Ladies & gentlemen, children of all ages! In the center ring...

Waaaaaay back in the late 1980s Casey was a professional clown with the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. There he explored a talent for developing top-notch forms of comedic entertainment. After less than a year of learning the ropes, Casey created and co-created comedic routines , four of which were chosen to be part of Ringling's next 2-year national tour; a rare achievement for a novice circus performer. One of these routines was a one-of-a-kind soap bubble act that earned him a "center ring" performance slot and a place in history as the first circus entertainer in the world ever to encase people in a bubble.

Consulting and Expertise

Casey Carle is connected both professionally and personally to an international bunch of soap bubble enthusiasts.
