Creativity at its best: a video defies gravity

12 July, 2012

Making best use of his creative skills and technology, Tobias Wegner amazes audiences who found his performance no less than magic. This performance needs brains and fitness and this man has used them at his best.

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT has been taking place at a rapid pace all around the world. But, it is upon the user, how he utilises it. You need to use your brain and make full use of your creativity while dealing with technology. It can create wonders. The same has been done by a performer named, Tobias Wegner, who seems to have defied gravity to amaze the audience.

The audiences who come to watch his show are instantly amazed as to the things that are taking shape in front of them. With the help of a video trick the person is seen climbing a wall, walking along the wall etc. But, the performer lets his audiences know that it is a video trick as the routine real time is seen by the audiences in the theater along with the trick clip, which is flipped by 90 degrees at the same time, which makes the performance look even more entertaining. There are no hidden secrets.

In this AFP video, Wegner says that it can not be pulled off by an actor, you need to have circus training. There is a lot of fitness involved in the process, though it may look simple. There are instances when Wegner has to hold himself up only using his arms. It requires lot of training. But his acts are well received by his audiences as one of the onlookers expresses himself after the show: “I was impressed by the visual effects, the whole time we were looking at reality and the magic that was on the screen.”

Such kind of acts have never been witnessed in many countries. But, such kind of creativity would take some doing. It may look easy to a naked eye, but just try to hold yourself on your arms and you will have the answer for yourself. One has to accept that the person has taken his skill to another level.
