I'm working on designing a the set for H2$ (How to Succeed). My design request from the director is to have as much open floor space as possible. For the couple of elevator scenes I will have one single elevator on stage that moves on a wagon. The director has requested for the elevator to rotate around so that during one of the number you can see the inside of the elevator. I'm having a hard time figuring out our to operate the doors without having a crew member built into the unit to operate the doors. I've considered a motor to operate the doors, but would prefer it to move as quickly as real elevator doors. I think the easiest way to have the doors move is both or one door move as opposed to 2 doors moving opposite directions. I hope I've given enough back ground to get some ideas stirring.
