I'm going to make a post that is unrelated to my project. I performed in the coffee house this weekend and I thought to myself all the things I'll do next time to make it even better but then I relized that was my last coffee house.
In the coffee house I figured out how to reflect a show with a set and how to make a set for a budget by putting on "The Phantom of the Opera" for forty of my own dollars. I had dry ice and chains and candles and of course a boat.
Building from 2D to 3D
Most of my week was spent making the boat which was a combonation of the slay from The Christmas Carol, Garbage bags, cardboard and wood scraps I found throughout the school.
To answer how to reflect a show
You have to actually see Phantom to understand but basically it is a mysterious and dark story.
Every performance I've ever seen has been accented by blue light. This is what I used. I also made use of the skeletol structure of our Anything Goes set as a base for the underground river in the desired scene from Phantom. I also used fog to set the mood
Building for a budget
I used Kitty litter buckets that I cut down to 9 inches and put a garbage bag in for my smoke to come out of. I also put a candle on top to hide it.
I bought about 15 candles (battery powered)
2 cans of flat black spray paint
17 pounds of dry ice
total being roughly $40
A Magician never reveles his secrets so before I give everything away I'll upload the video later this week.
