This is a rig we made to levitate a live actor. I was behind the partition operatiing it.
Here she is about 18 inches off the bed.
The frame she laid in coming up through the bed, with attached leg support.
The mechanism behind the partition. Sandbag counterweights so she could be lifted smoothly with little effort.
Another view.
Me operating the effect.
This is the full how-to of how we made this in a Word file. As with all our stuff, feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions.
