Tommy Schatz-Thompson

     On Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure I was the Lead Assembly Technician and later assigned as the Technical Design Manager. As the Lead Assembly Technician I was responsible for the mechanical build, integration, and installation of the 28 function animatronic figure Skrewt and the 24 function animatronic figure Hagrid. While installing the figures on-site at Universal Studios I was involved in rigging, mechanical assembly, cable routing, electrical wiring, cosmetic integration, silicone patching/painting, testing, and creative approvals. As a Technical Design Manager I collaborated with the client to manage all technical-support aspects for day to day operation of the figures.
