Arnold E. Peterson (Arnie) is very well-known in Hollywood’s special effects community.

Arnold (Arnie) Peterson has taken his experiences working on films such as Apollo 13, Oceans 12, Twister, Armageddon, Star Trek, Total Recall, Salt and many more blockbuster movies and applied many of the same skills, enhanced others and developed new techniques culminating in the design of the Boat Trolley.

In the chase scenes for “Mission Impossible” Arnie brought the motorcycle gimbal into the studio as well as the streets of Morocco. This allows animators to digitally add explosions, excessive speeds, and all things dangerous to a scene without putting the actor in harm’s way.

In the movie “Battleship” starring Liam Neeson, Arnie’s patented gimbal was outfitted with a huge replica of the battleship’s bridge. For this film the gimbal was designed to dip and toll, as if the ship were in a storm at sea.

Arnie’s innovative design creates a product that seems simplistic, and intuative, but is actually carefully crafted firmware and custom built systems of electronics, hydraulics, and safety sensors. He brings many years of engineering experience in the entertainment world to the Boat Trolley.

The Trolley was tested with sand bags in our Ft Myers factory for rolling loads of 28,500 pounds, with custom capacities up to 50,000 lbs. It performed beautifully. We have designs accommodating yachts up to 50 feet in length.

Recently Arnie teamed up with the production company The Mill to design all of the electronics in the vehicle called The Blackbird. This video shows how the Blackbird is used to introduce new car models of any make, that don’t actually exist yet! The Blackbird expands and contracts to accommodate the size of the vehicle allowing filmmakers to film a car that is rendered on a computer to be filmed in the real world. This is a real advantage to any car company that is introducing a new model.

The controllers designed for the BLACKBIRD are similar to those in the Boat Trolley System.
