Abstract

The present invention consists in constructing all the elements of a shadow show within a frame which does not exceed 30 cm in its greatest dimension, and in placing this frame on the top of an overhead projector 6. The puppets 7 and the opaque decorations 8 (which will cast a shadow on the screen) are cut chemically into metal. The movable parts are rivetted or welded. The colour decorations are drawn on rolls of transparent plastic material (for example acetate) which are driven by a varying speed motor 11. The size of the screen is thus no longer limited. The device according to the invention can be used for any shadow show and, particularly, in the form of a miniature shadow theatre (toys).

Description

Traditionnellement, le théâtre ombre utilise : (cf.fig.1) . Une source de lumière (1) . Un écran translucide (type rétroprojection ou tout simplement calque) (4) . Des marionnettes (2) et des eléments de décor (3) en bois ou en carton placés contre l'écran et donc proportionnels à sa taille.Traditionally, shadow theater uses: (see fig. 1). A light source (1). A translucent screen (rear projection type or simply tracing) (4). Puppets (2) and decorative elements (3) in wood or cardboard placed against the screen and therefore proportional to its size.

. On a adjoint ensuite une projection de diapositives (5) ou de film fixe qui permettent un rendu de couleurs et un mouvement du décor dit "panoramique1,. Dans ce cas, le projecteur devient la source principale de lumière. . We then added a projection of slides (5) or filmstrip which allow color rendering and movement of the decor called "panoramic1". In this case, the projector becomes the main source of light.

Ce dispositif présente un inconvénient majeur : dans le cas d'un écran de grande dimension, les éléments situés contre celui-ci sont difficilement manipulables. La taille de l'écran est donc limitée et par conséquent le théâtre n'est pas exploitable dans une grande salle dans le cas de l'utilisation simultanée de décors projetés.This device has a major drawback: in the case of a large screen, the elements situated against it are difficult to handle. The screen size is therefore limited and therefore the theater cannot be used in a large room in the case of the simultaneous use of projected sets.

La présente invention consiste à construire tous les éléments de spectacle dans un cadre ne dépassant pas 30 cm dans sa plus grande dimension et à placer ce cadre sur le plateau d'un rétroprojecteur (fig.2) (6).The present invention consists in constructing all the show elements in a frame no larger than 30 cm in its largest dimension and in placing this frame on the plate of an overhead projector (fig. 2) (6).

Les marionnettes (7) et les décors opaques (8) (qui rendront une ombre sur l'écran) sont inchangés dans leur forme mais sont réduits en taille (environ 10 cm pour un personnage).The puppets (7) and the opaque decorations (8) (which will make a shadow on the screen) are unchanged in their shape but are reduced in size (around 10 cm for a character).

Leur réalisation traditionnelle en carton rendrait difficile le rendu de détail à l'écran. Their traditional production in cardboard would make it difficult to render detail on the screen.

ns sont donc dessinés à l'échelle 3 ou 4, réduits photographiquement et découpés chimiquement dans du métal (exemple : laiton de 0,4 mm d'épaisseur).They are therefore drawn on a 3 or 4 scale, photographically reduced and chemically cut out of metal (example: brass 0.4 mm thick).

Les parties mobiles sont ensuite assemblées par rivetage et soudure. L'animation est faite sur le cadre par tiges, biellettes, petits cables, etc... (9). Un rail est prévu pour guider leur manipulation.The moving parts are then assembled by riveting and welding. The animation is done on the frame by rods, rods, small cables, etc ... (9). A rail is provided to guide their handling.

- Les diapositives sont remplacées par des transparents de la taille du cadre.- The slides are replaced by transparencies the size of the frame.

- Les panoramiques sont réalisés par des rouleaux de film transparents (exemple acétate) larges de 30 cm, défilant devant le cadre. ( X o)
Ces rouleaux existant déjà, notre innovation est d'utiliser deux films perpendiculairement pour permettre les panoramiques horizontaux et verticaux.- The panoramas are made by rolls of transparent film (eg acetate) 30 cm wide, scrolling past the frame. (X o)
These rollers already existing, our innovation is to use two films perpendicularly to allow the horizontal and vertical panoramas.

- Ces rouleaux sont entraînés par un moteur à vitesse variable (11) - Les effets spéciaux sont aussi réalisés à partir du rétroprojecteur:
. Effet d'huile par l'adjonction devant l'objectif d'huiles colorées entre deux feuilles de transparents.- These rollers are driven by a variable speed motor (11) - Special effects are also produced from the overhead projector:
. Effect of oil by the addition in front of the lens of colored oils between two sheets of transparencies.

. Effet de fumée par l'envoi de fumée sur le plateau du rétroprojecteur. . Smoke effect by sending smoke to the overhead projector tray.

La taille de l'écran n'est plus limitée que par la puissance du projecteur qu'il suffit d'éloigner ou de rapprocher pour obtenir une image de dimension quelconque.The size of the screen is no longer limited except by the power of the projector, which is enough to move away or closer together to obtain an image of any size.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est utilisable pour tout spectacle d'ombre et particulièrement sous forme de théâtre d'ombre miniature (jouets). The device according to the invention can be used for any shadow show and particularly in the form of a miniature shadow theater (toys).

Claims (4)
