Anything Goes Upside Down

One scene required the illusion that a woman was being held by her ankles in order to speak with friends in the brig. Our actress was a great sport and allowed us to hang her upside down. Being that I had a rule of not flying people. The rule existed because the school does not own the proper equipment, etc...

We built this huge contraption that allowed us to flip our actress upside down and then lower her into view of the audience.
