1, Mike leaned forward 45 degrees in the video, and he leaned forward 45 degrees in the concert. These two inventions were patented by Mike as early as 1993. The patent name is "Get rid of the illusion of gravity". ?
2. The first performance in the movie leans forward with a rope around the actor's waist. Of course, the rope is post-processed by MV, which is invisible to the audience.
3. The angle that the actor leans forward depends on the mechanical control of the ceiling. At that time, you can even see the forward rotation of 45 degrees in the MV.
4. Later, this method was unrealistic in the concert. Because the rope tied to the waist is impossible to install and disassemble in live performances.
The pre-installed rope restricted the dance movements of the actors' arms and bodies, and Mike thought of another way.
6. The performance in the concert needs the tacit cooperation of all links to be completed. First, you need dazzling stage lights, smoke generators and lasers.
When Mike needs to give a special performance, MJ will be close to the "special area" of the stage with the dancers. Usually the lights in this area will be dim at this time. The "gangster" played by the staff will immediately take the stage and perform with explosives for a few seconds. Distract the audience and give MJ time to buy. When MJ is ready, the "special area" will be lit up. Mike, say 45 degrees in one breath! The key detail lies in MJ's special shoes. The heel is mechanically connected with the stage, which can firmly fix the body support point.
Technical details: The concert method overcomes the shortcomings of the rope system and can make the concert go on continuously. So as to achieve the visual effect that the center of gravity of the body exceeds the support point. At the same time, the "grappling hook" system of the stage can be extended and retracted accurately and timely through the control of precision instruments, so as to achieve the purpose of not being discovered. The whole process of "anti-gravity illusion" only takes five seconds, but even with these fixation systems, you should keep your body straight when you lean, and your leg, waist, back and shoulder muscles need long-term training, which is a combination of intelligence, physical fitness and skills. Therefore, such a perfect action cannot be separated from the hard exercise, careful rehearsal and running-in of Mike and the actors. It is inseparable from strong back muscle and body balance control ability.
