Anaheim Ca. in the late '50s early 60's? If that is the Matterhorn what is the camera on? (is Snow Whites Castle turret higher?) I think we are looking at Tomorrowland and The Autopia, Rocket to the Moon and of course the Monorail tracks. In the BG a future parking lot or future Disney's California Adventure maybe? Santarigger should not be standing on the top of the ladder as that is a flagrant OSHA safety violation. Walt D' is obviously planning on luring some wise-men with this fake star o' Bethlehem scam. He will rob them to finance his criminal empire or just force them to work as "Imagineers"
We are looking at Tomorrowland, Anaheim, late 50's. The parking lot - which has yet to be built - will one day be very familiar to you and your pals as Dopey stares you down from beyond the gates.
Re: OSHA violation. Santa wasn't working as a rigger, he's an actor (he's in costume, after all). He needs the ladder to be seen by the crowd, and as an actor (stunt-person) there are exceptions to the OSHA rules allowed. All provided there are appropriate safety measures in place.

ReplyDeleteReal riggers don't mind. On a Rolling Stone's show the head rigger lost his thumb - "pour some whiseky on it mate." - true story.
ReplyDeleteNow, ya wanna hear what happened while we were setting up the giant, mirror ball for Pink Floyd?
