在鞋跟裏
不過也少不了個人因素,
畢竟只有鞋跟作為支點
所以他很厲害!
華麗的45度舞蹈其實是有轉稱的"Methods and Means for Creating Anti Gravity Illusion". （擺脫地心引力的幻想）
Discover the secret behind the 45 degree lean in the Smooth Criminal video and in the live performance.
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.
邁克在Smooth Criminal 錄影帶中表演的身體身體前傾45度，和演唱會中表演的身體前傾45度特技。兩項發明早在1993年，邁克都申請了專利，專利號(US5255452)。專利名稱“擺脫地心引力的幻想”。最初的”MOONWALK“電影中表演的身體前傾，依靠的是壹根系在演員腰間的繩索。當然繩索在MV後期經過加工處理，觀眾是看不到的。演員身體的前傾的角度，依靠的是天花板的機械控制。那時在MV中甚至可以看到前傾45度+旋轉。到後來這個方法，在演唱會中就不現實了。因為系在腰間的繩索根本不可能在現場表演中安裝和拆除。其二，提前安裝的繩索限制了演員的手臂和身體的舞蹈動作，邁克想到了另外壹種方法。。。。。
演唱會中的表演，需要各個環節相互默契配合才能完成。首先需要舞臺眩目的燈光，煙霧發生器 ，激光==。
當邁克需要表演特級的時候，MJ就會跟伴舞的演員走近舞臺的“特殊區域”，通常這時候該區域的燈光會非常暗。工作人員扮演的“歹徒”會立即上場，手拿炸藥表演幾秒鐘。分散觀眾註意力，給MJ準備贏得時間。 當MJ準備好的時候，“特殊區域”就會被點亮。邁克前傾訴45度壹氣呵成！！關鍵的細節在於MJ那雙特制的鞋子，從圖裏可以看到，鞋後跟於舞臺有機械聯接，可以把身體支持點牢牢的固定住。
技術細節：演唱會方法克服了，繩索系統的不足，可以使演唱會連貫的進行。從而達到身體重心超越支持點的視覺效果。同時，舞臺的“抓勾”系統通過精密儀器的控制，可以準確的適時伸縮，以達到不被發現的目的。特別提請的是：即便如此，也裏不開邁克和演員刻苦的鍛煉，及精心排練和磨合。離不開強健的背部肌肉身體平衡控制力！！
