Yay, at last the wings are up and working! They open and close, and you can stop them at any point of movement, too, from a small switch. We have made a short film of them in operation, which I will attach a link to as soon as it is posted. It's taken us years of research and development, mostly done in our "spare" -hah!... time and whenever we could. We are now planning on making another three sets for a possible dance/aeriallist film. The next set will be for a stiltwalker, though, who will be coming for a fitting this week, so will post a pic of him in his white and rainbow wings as soon as they are on him.
It took me a minute or two to work out which trees I could walk in between with them fully extended........ that bit's not in the film. (But it is very funny.)
They're pretty comfortable, too. Much lighter than I thought they would be. Might have to wear lead boots if it gets really windy, though.....
Now to effect all the improvements we thought of while making this lot.
Wings made in collaboration with my partner.
Hope y'all like them
