[1377364791] Animatronics

No.25495 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
THE KING IS ALIVE!

He's over 6m tall and weighs more than a tonne. He roars, he pounds, he fights and romances the woman of his dreams. He even bleeds for love.

   Watch King Kong, the legendary silverback gorilla from Merian C. Cooper's 1933 film of the same name, now the lead actor in his own musical.

   We find out how the '8th Wonder of the World' is brought to life in front of a live audience.

IT MADE its debut on June 15 at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne, Australia. But King Kong the musical was the result of five years of development.

   In 2008, Ms Carmen Pavlovic, CEO of Global Creatures, was looking at how to next use the company's animatronics technology, after its success with animatronics shows like Walking With Dinosaurs and How To Train Your Dragon.

   Animatronics is the art of bringing different technologies together to create lifelike robots for entertainment purposes.

   Together with production designer Peter England, she trawled through several creature stories.

   Said Pavlovic: "As I really got to think about it, I became more and more captivated by the fact that it was a love story, and I could see musical possibilities in that very strongly."

   After a series of engineering and control tests, Mr Sonny Tilders, the creature designer at Global Creature Technology, decided to proceed.

   Four scaled models and two prototypes were built before the "sculptural" version of Kong was finalised. It would take a year and 50 specialists across the engineering, fabrication, electronics and digital departments to build this Kong.

   But not everything was about Kong.

   The musical required a crew of 76, to support a cast of 50 actors, singers, dancers, circus performers and puppeteers.

   Due to the size of the production, the producers of King Kong have guaranteed the show will not be touring anywhere outside of Melbourne.

   Looks like one will have to go Down Under to catch this Kong.


King Kong, the hybrid beast, is controlled by an integrated three-level process, combining animatronics with puppetry

ANIMATRONICS

Three off-stage puppeteers control the cylinders and actuators on broad Kong in real time with customised remote controls known as 'voodoo'. One operator controls his hips and facial expressions (eyebrows, nose, lips, jaw and eyelids) and one controls Kong's shoulders, chest and wrist. One of them also supplies the voice of Kong.

To raise Kong's arm, a puppeteer uses a pulley line to jump from a height, lifting the 60kg arm.

To simulate Kong sprinting, the King's Men raise and push the limbs forward in sync.

AUTOMATION

A steel-frame harness is built onto Kong's back, which enables him to be hoisted by a 22-tonne gantry crane via steel cables. Kong's major movements are pre-programmed, guiding him like a marionette.

KING'S MEN

A team of 17 puppeteers is involved in directly manipulating Kong's limbs. At any one time, 10 onstage King's Men move agilely in the shadows. animating Kong's limbs. They are former acrobats and circus artists now trained as puppeteers. The captain of the puppeteer team will call puppetry moves, drive the puppet's shoulders and wrists and instruct the King's Men via radio.

KONG ACTS

Inside the carbon-fibre head are 15 servo motors (the same type used in the Nasa Mars rovers) and two hydraulic cylinders.

KONG HURTS

The 'fabric' skin unzips to reveal red underlining, simulating the injuries Kong sustains

KONG, A LOVE STORY

Carl Denham, a Hollywood director, embarks on a perilous shooting expedition to the uncharted Skull Island, only to capture Kong, a huge prehistoric creature. A love triangle ensues, one involving Denham's starlet, Ann Darrow, the ship's first mate, Jack Driscoll, and Kong.

KONG LOVES ANN

Ann Darrow (Esther Hannaford) sharing an intimate moments with Kong.

KONG GOT MUSCLES!

Under Kong's chest and abdomen is a layer of 'air-powered muscles', formed by bags filled with polystyrene beans, extending and contracting as he moves.

KONG HOOKS UP

Within the steel-tube skeleton is a network of 300m of electrical cables and 16 microprocessors. Kong even has his own onboard hydraulic power with a liquid-cooled quiet pump.

KONG BEHAVES

For safety, no steel structure is constructed from the elbows down. Kong's forearm is a high-pressure inflatable tube that prevents him from accidentally smashing into the co-performers.

KONG NEEDS SUPPORT

Thirty tonnes of steel are used to rein-force the stage to accommodate Kong's weight and size. From sub-stage to gantry, the vertical height is 23m, of which the audience will see 8m.

KONG SHAVES

Unlike his predecessors, this Kong is hairless - exuding raw masculinity on stage. Its skin is made of hand-sewn, synthetic, stretch net fabric that wrinkles and moves to mimic the real thing.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF KING KONG'S SIZE

We track the famous silverback's height through the years

Kong's height went from 5.4m on the Skull island to 7.3m while in New York

KING KONG VS GODZILLA (1962)

Kong was scaled to 45m tall

KING KONG ESCAPES (1967)

Kong was scaled to 20m tall

KING KONG (1976)

Kong was 13m tall on Skull Island and rescaled to 17m tall in New York

KING KONG LIVES (1986)

Kong was scaled to 18m tall

KONG KONG (2005)

This Kong shrank back to 7.6m tall

KING KONG THE MUSICAL (2013)

Kong stands over 6m tall in front of a live audience

"He's an Adonis, an image of power and strength."

MetroPCS includes unlimited web browsing through the POS tiny-screen browser included on my phone. I wanna hit 4chan while I'm on the train, in

[1377803146] Transportation idea!

No.25511 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Ok! This is my worst idea. I always thought transportation itself could be made less expensive by making use of gravity to make stuff move down on their own. For example, imagine you have a path 2 kms long and a truck that has to travel that. Now imagine a special "UPLIFTER" machine (basically a big electrically powered, mechanical floor) at the beginning of that path which, when the truck is on it, lifts it up to say 200 mts high and then leaves it on a slope to slide through that 2 km path without spending any energy/fuel, just leaving everything to gravity. My idea was that it would cost lesser to lift a vehicle to 200 meters height than the cost of amount of fuel needed for the vehicle to travel that distance. Now imagine all the two-way highways have such 'uplifter's at 2 km stretch which continuously uplift the vehicles to a height which would then come down travelling on the slope till the next uplifter.!! I know I know, forgive me.

I post this here and on the text boards, because of incase i should/would not be able to be available anytime soon. which i know i wont. I have tried to contact AnonNewsSwe (From Twitter) using different IRC channels but without any success as of yet.

If anyone reads/sees this, i would appretiate that you contact AnonNewSwe and inform them (Yes, 1 account but many on that 1 acc)
what i have to tell, as of right now:

"I am going to blow the whistle, on something
however i cannot tell you on what it is, as of yet.
It has to do with end of 2011, to early 2012. I'm currently
in a recovery mode and need to stay low, until i am suitable to make the whistleblowing."

Best, Regards from a Anon, A.K.A AnonQuo.
