I've been there the last two summers as Scenic Designer/TD!

That looks an awful lot like College Light Opera Company at the Highfield Theatre... ???

Yeah! Something like this is ideal but it is on a pivot point and so I can't have any horizontal force.

I'm hoping to create something like a tip jack just low-profile. The other challenge is that it has a pivot point so the rise of the "tip" needs to be fully vertical. Leaning more and more to wedges shoved into the framing to lock. The footprint + height doesn't allow us to have the use of air...

Thanks for this! This looks like a great solution but it won't work for me. The designer is looking for a 4'-0" x 8'-0" platform at 6"-1'-0" high in the middle of a thrust stage. And unfortunately, we just don't have the budget currently to get a smaller air compressor. But I'm definitely going...

I created this tornado for wizard of oz which we projected onto a scrim and included characters trapped inside. May give you some ideas.I imagine the trickiest part of your problem, besides building the video and set up is imaging a smooth transition from live to projected.

I suppose recessing the wagon locks could work too...My designer is pushing for pin and dowel locks and I really don't want to drill 24 hole positions in the floor so I'm trying to propose an alternative method that allows a wagon to pivot and lock but with the little to no notice.

A replacement to an air caster - allowing a platform that is, in total, 1'-0" high off the ground to be lifted onto casters and then lock. I guess it also pertains to having a locking mechanism to a wagon where wagon locks do not stick out.

Hi All,I've seen a few threads on here about mechanical lifts and variable options but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for a low-profile mechanical lift that isn't an air caster.The ideal total height is less than a foot.The simplest solution seems to be a wedge but I'm wondering if...
