Cologne - He is the developer of the longest chain in the world - a world record that the Cologne show, which ran live on Saturday night at Pro 7.
Permit: Godehard Wolpers (42), the Daniel jet from the Rhine. Wolpers and his team achieved more than 10000 (everyday) objects, and celebrities as "intermediate" an oversized domino effect - which took an action in the other. Joey Kelly was so extreme, with its ski jumping key element of the chain reaction, like "water rat" Wigald Boning.
Such a mega-experiment requires meticulous preparation - clearly was not there to think in the last days of a lot of sleep. Finally, the producer had to change the final line always show elements: "We provided 24 hours before the start that the train that is used in the chain 'office and railways," is not about the curve. The line had to be rescheduled. "
Seven years passed before a crazy idea became a reality. 2002 Wolpers had seen a similar show, which lasted only 29 minutes. Too short for him - so he and his team developed ideas for a feature-length Show.Als 2008, the station it was established it was blow for blow, with a total of 400 employees with planned categories for chain reactions.
"All parties showed superkooperativ" says Wolpers. "For example, in the Cologne Bonn Airport or at the clinics of the city of Cologne you were excited about our ideas, worked well with us." On Saturday night, then worked with nearly 1000 technicians, set designers and participants to the new world record with an "action chain "from the studio area in Hurth to the airport and prepare for return.
Despite the mega-job: the record did not fall!
Half an hour would have to run the reaction without interruption. But too often broke the chain and had to be manually re-initiated.
