  1. Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal (live)

    in Caught in the Middle

    Posted

    thanx, how the hell do they do that lean? Nearly killed myself as a kid trying to do it.

    That baffled me as well for ages! When I was at his concert he did it and the whole place went mental! Here's how he does it!!

    45pdf18f7800bc3.jpg

    Michael Jackson and two of his costume designers obtained a US patent (US5255452) in 1993 on "Methods and Means for Creating Anti Gravity Illusion". The invention outlines how a special pair of shoes attaches to a stage to allow leaning forward beyond the centre of gravity of the wearer of the shoes. A case study of this patent is presented here.

    Background and Prior Art Interesting stage designs, lighting, fog generators, laser light shows, and large video screens have been used by music entertainers and dancers to enhance the appeal of their live and recorded performances.

    In the past Michael Jackson had incorporated dance steps in his recorded video performances, wherein he and other dancers would lean forward beyond their center of gravity, thereby creating an impressive visual effect. In the video this effect was accomplished by the use of cables connecting a harness around the dancer's waist with hooks on a stage, thereby allowing the dancer to lean forward at the required degree.

    However, since this requires stagehands to connect and then disconnect the cables, it has not been possible to use this system in live performances. Moreover, the cables obviously restricted arm and body movements.

    Description of the Invention

    The present invention overcomes the above noted deficiencies of the previously employed cable system by providing specialized footwear and

    a moveable hitch or post to which the specialized footwear can be detachably engaged to, allowing the footwear wearer to lean forward on the stage, with his or her center of gravity well beyond the front of the shoes, thereby creating the desired visual effect. The hitch or post protrude upwardly through the stage platform at a predetermined time.

  11. Possible New JJFP Track!

    in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince

    Posted

    Whilst browsing the samples site I posted in 'Caught In The Middle' I noticed a track by JJFP that I've never heard of! Could this be another new JJFP that we haven't heard about yet? (By the way JJFP rank 16th in artist with the most samples found! That's how I came across it!!)

    Songs from the Big Chair: (Mercury 1985)

    * "Shout"

    DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - "Head over Heels"

    Anyone heard of it? I checked out that album but couldn't find any details pertaining to Will and Jeff!
