Pizzacam

Sign in to edit


Pizzacam (also referred to as The Camera) is a prop animatronic found only on the 3-Stage on Stage Left next to Pasqually.

History[]

Pizzacam is retrofit of Looney Bird, who originated as a character from ShowBiz Pizza Place, though during Concept Unification all Looney animatronics were retrofitted into the blue camera.

The character has never been acknowledged by any of the other characters, with the exception of the You're a Star showtape from September 1993, where he appears with Charlie Rockit in an intermission (though as a puppet). Here, he is referred to as "Pizzacam". He would also supply backing and announcing vocals during shows.

In the mid-2010s, 3 locations would replace the blue shell and latex mask and replace it with a black mask made entirely of plastic. This version, dubbed Retro-Cam, was designed by the Huntsville, Alabama location's technician to serve as an alternative to the latex mask, which stopped being produced during the 1990s. Retro-Cam was installed at Huntsville, Alabama, Madison, Tennessee, and Roanoke, Virginia. All of which have since received 2.0, removing their animatronic shows (including Pizzacam.)

Pizzacam briefly became an extinct character when the Huntsville, Alabama location removed their 3-Stage for their 2.0 remodel during the night and early morning hours of March 28th and 29th, 2023, with the Retro-Cam variant also going extinct. The last latex Pizzacam was removed from the Laurel, Maryland location during 2.0 in June 2022. For over a year, Pizzacam was extinct, forever to be a memory of the 3-Stage. However on June 18th, 2024, it was confirmed that Pizzacam would be returning to the 3-Stage in Charlotte "Pineville", North Carolina, after it had been announced that the location would become a legacy store. After 2 years of being stored at the Showbiz Pizza Time Distribution Center in Topeka, Kansas, Pizzacam was installed in the 3-Stage, where he currently resides with the rest of the band.

Designs[]

The original design of Pizzacam had a square blue head, bolts on the top and side of his head, eyelids which were either colored orange, blue, or black, green irises, a TV decal, yellow and red sidebar decals, and a grey (or black) vent on his forehead, a large silver nose shaped like a camera lens, and two upper teeth. On the corporate Pizzacam, he had red reflector stickers on his forehead and red reflector sidebar decals.

During the mid-1990s, Pizzacam was slightly redesigned. He was given a new camera lens nose made using a single plastic piece rather than being made of separate pieces and would (in most cases) lose the teeth in his mouth. His mask was also slightly redesigned.

In the You're a Star showtape, a Pizzacam puppet was shown. The puppet had a similar appearance to the animatronic with the exception of the eye color which was black. This puppet was used in a Charlie Rockit sketch in 1993. This sketch would later be reused in later 90s showtapes.

Pizzacam's "Retro-Cam" retrofit from the mid-2010's is made out of black plastic and reuses the nose and (sometimes) the teeth. In most cases of this retrofit, he has grey handlebars, a square gauge meter, and multiple bolts. In place of his mouth is a red rectangular piece resembling a tongue which covers his mouth lever.
