When John Rothas got into the hydraulics (水力学)business 18 years ago he never dreamed he’d see his work up on the silver screen. But today he is, essentially, a Hollywood veteran.
Rothas is a sales representative with Mayo Hydraulics, based in California. He has worked with special effects teams to move sets on some major Hollywood films. "Designing the systems needed for such projects makes for challenging and exciting work, " says Rothas, "but Mayo Hydraulics ’most recent project -- sinking the Titanic for Paramout Pictures (派拉蒙影片公司) )“-- takes the cake. ”
“It was thrilling because it was the Titanic and it was the largest moving set ever built, "says Rothas, with whom company President Mark Force, partnered with engineers at Pareker Hannifin Corp. to design and build the systems needed to sink the set. It was quite exciting -- and it was the first time Mayo has ever gotten its name in the credits(导演、演员、制片人等到名单)。
Titanic director James Caneron needed to achieve unique special effects for the film. Those included moving three massive structures---the biggest of which was about the size of the 77-story building tipped on its side. Rothas and Forcm worked with Greg Paddocking tipped on its side. Rothas and Force worked with Greg Paddock of Parker Hannifin to design the hydraulic systems that would sink a 775-foot, 2-million pound scale model of the original ship; move a 200-foot long interior set; and tilt a 100-foot long poop(船尾)deck set from 6 degrees to 19 degrees.
"I don’t think anyone in Hollywood has ever moved anything this big, "says Rothas, who has made quite a name for himself and his company in Hollywood circles.
The movie industry makes up a significant portion of Mayo Hydraulics business, according to business developer Hearty Chambers. Rothas adds that the industry is “Mayo’s niche market” that not all companies are equipped to serve. “Movie studios are demanding Mayo-type service, ” he says. But despite the high demands, Mayo Hydraulics has been able to deliver time and again and plans to continue to penetrate the profitable market.
“It’s a lot of fun and it’s out of the norm and there’s good money in it if you’re prepared to put a lot of hours in, ” Rothas says.
In addition to being called late at night and early in the morning to deal with problems . that arose during filming, Rothas says he spent a couple of 24-hour on the project. All told, Mayo Hydraulics spent about two months on the project.
