Davi Napoleon Problem/Solution| Shifting a wooden floor
Live Design: "There are surprises in the Guthrie Theatre's Peer Gynt. Some are in Ibsen's fantastical story. Some are in Tim Carroll's production of Robert Bly's translation, which adds a surprise party for Gynt during which he collapses and imagines himself into the play. And some are in, well, in the floor."

This sounds really cool. I really want to see this floor. I bet it was a pain to build and automate, but it sounds so neat that I'd love for us to do something like that here. I really hope we start incorporating more automation into our sets sometime in the future.
The video explains the entire thing in one shot. It's really a very simple rig when you get down to it, but using a cam shaft was not my fist idea. What they came up with is a design that illustrates how a simple design will win out over a more complicated one.
