[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 212486, member: 67"] Hi Ben- Yeah, this was all shot for a 'reality' TV show that likely lacked the human confrontations needed to retain an audience. "Man vs physics" doesn't have the longevity of "man vs man" like stuff in the custom motorcycle and hot rod shows. For this show, once the wow-factor was done a couple of times the attention span of most viewers was likely eclipsed. It's great info stuff for we tech folks and stagehands, though. Generally everything is engineered, designed and built to be in show position, whether on the ground or in the air, no more than 5 hours from opening the first truck with the majority of work accomplished in the first 4 hours. This means in the last 10-12 years, stagehand calls have gone from 50-70 hands to 100-150 to perform the miracles of Spectacle Stagecraft. As an IATSE member I'm glad to see more spectacle :D. At any rate, Tait does really good work and genuinely understands industrial grade touring as well as safety and interpreting designer visions. They are the Clair Bros of staging and set automation.
