13/208676
Inventors:
Ralph Cichetti - Montrose CA, US
David D. MacMurtry - North Hollywood CA, US
Quang N. Truong - Rosemead CA, US
Risto M. Salo - Valencia CA, US

Abstract:
A lift for raising and lowering a backdrop is provided. The lift includes: a base including at least three legs; a tower boom extending substantially vertically from the base and including top, middle, and bottom telescoping sections, wherein the tower boom is capable of telescoping from a fully retracted position to a fully extended position; and a post extending substantially vertically from the tower boom, wherein the post is detachable from the tower boom at a lower end of the post and attachable to a truss adapted for attaching to a backdrop at an upper end of the post, wherein a minimum height of the tower boom in the fully retracted position is less than about 35% of a maximum height of the tower boom and post, when the tower boom is in the fully extended position.

Live-Action Theater

US Patent:
58686282, Feb 9, 1999
Filed:
Jun 10, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/872442
Inventors:
Nicholas H. Drobnis - Universal City CA
Norman J. Kahn - Universal City CA
Randall G. Novak - Universal City CA
Scott H. Smith - North Hollywood CA
Thomas A. Garcia - Burbank CA
David MacMurtry - Alhambra CA
Robert A. MacDonald - Moorpark CA
Christopher Brown - Moorpark CA
Assignee:
Universal City Studios, Inc. - Universal City CA
International Classification:
A63J 502
US Classification:
472 81
Abstract:
In a live-action theater, a catapult launches a prop which achieves free flight in the theater. The catapult and prop are concealed until the moment of launch, whereupon the prop suddenly hurtles into an audience's view, and lands in front of the audience. The audience views the launch from a seating area or from a vehicle moved through the theater. The prop is for example, a seaplane or a jetski. The prop is then retrieved from the landing area using a crane or other lifter and returned to the catapult for a subsequent launch. By launching a prop in a theater with a catapult, the audience sees true free flight, rather than an illusion of flight. The audience sees no supports or other devices which can diminish the effect. A catapult allows a prop to be launched directly at the audience at a realistic or full speed, creating a more dramatic effect than if a prop is moved about some distant stage area using cables or a boom.
