"Winter's company, Artistry in Motion, also makes confetti for rock concerts, movies, political conventions and the Olympics. But the annual blizzard of color falling onto the field at the end of each Super Bowl is probably what he's best known for.It certainly is what he's most likely to get asked about at dinner parties. "It's become an iconic moment," Winter marvels, sitting in his Northridge, California, office and confetti factory."
"Jane Gershovich, a photographer who worked for the Seattle Seahawks when they won the Super Bowl in 2014, said that when the confetti falls, everyone wants to play in it. The players and their families have been known to toss it in the air and make confetti angels."Just seeing the players and their kids engage with it at such a wholesome level, it brings a lot of joy to everyone on the field," she said."
"Artistry in Motion trucks 300 pounds (135 kilograms) of two-colored confetti for each of the teams to the Super Bowl. They bring confetti cannons onto the field with about 4 minutes remaining, and line them up around the stadium walls.Even if the teams stream onto the field before the clock runs out, the confetti waits until the timer shows the game is officially over. And the winners' colors get the go-ahead."
Noah Winter runs Artistry in Motion, which produces confetti for Super Bowls, concerts, movies, political conventions and the Olympics. Winter will manage the Super Bowl confetti for his 30th consecutive year. The company trucks about 300 pounds (135 kilograms) of two-colored confetti per team and stages cannons around the stadium with roughly four minutes remaining. Cannons do not fire until the official game timer reaches triple zero and the winning team's colors receive authorization. The confetti drop creates an iconic celebratory moment that players and families often play in, tossing confetti and making confetti angels. The company reports no instances of launching wrong colors.
