After being
approached by the lighting and set designer Roy Bennett, Brilliant
were awarded the contract to produce 4 “Turbo” roll drops
for the up coming Paul McCartney tour.
The roll drops are 19’ wide and have a 42’ trim height.
They are mounted on a fabricated roller within a 3’ 6”
x 2’ 6” custom truss (see drawing extract below). They
were designed and engineered by Project Manager Warren Steadman and
CAD draughtsman Kevin Edwards.
The Mirror drops cloths, which are supplied by Perry
Scenic, can travel at up to 10’ per second and are made
up from 6” square mirror film applied to black sharkstooth gauze.
The European leg of the tour starts in Gijon Spain on May 25th.
