Do you think it could also be used as a horizontal positioning rig? I need someone to levitate!

hmmm i will have to think about that, I think the rig would have to be changed

Surly you would see the harnise and supporting ropes????

You would for the levitation idea, but not for the hangman's rig!

You will not see the harness cause' you have to wear it under your costume, duh!!!!!

The source of Grant's pic is the book "Sectrets of hollywood Special Effects" by Robert E. McCarthy(page 58 Figure 13b.)

IT AN EXPENCIVE BOOK(about $45-$55) BUT, IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY>>>!!!!!!!!!!! BUY IT...!!!!!! It has a bit of everything regarding physical FX (even pro-pyro recipies!!!)

I've tried to post pictures and diagrams from it but I don't have anyplace to upload pics. BUY THE BOOK,IT'S VEEEEEERY INFORMATIVE FOR "pro's" and AMATEURS!!!!

WOW !!! That was awesome "FabianJansen"!!!!!!! The best LINK I've ever seen!!!!!

GOOD!!! Keep up the good work buddy!!!

If I where "AsbjÃƒÂ¸rn" I would have been very happy and anxious to find out that someone replied to my post and then very angry to find out that it was just a silly comment.

Returning to the topic:

There are not many books worth the money when it comes to Ã¢â‚¬Å“do-it-yourselfÃ¢â‚¬

With the things I said above I didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t meant to offend anybody or anything like that (my apologies). But come on guys, use common sense (which is the least common of all the senses). Don't waste your time and other's time by posting pointless replies. This forum features some of the best topics and replies IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve ever seen. LetÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s keep that quality level as high as possible guys!. This is an awesome forum and a very good source for idea sharing and stuff. Let's use it wisely, so that everyone can obtain the most benefit from it. LetÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s use it properly.
