Hello Brain Trust,
We're doing a production of Disney's "The Descendants" that calls for characters to go through a "portal" that transports them to another location. The set features a large squarish arch (see illustration) that we'd like to use as the "doorway."
Might it be possible to rig some kind of mist or haze or fog contraption in the door header, which, when run, would fill the doorway with white or gray swirly mist onto which we could project a swirling lighting effect? It's fine if the "mist" spills/drifts/dissipates so long as the weird light effect is visible within the doorframe.
If you're a fan of the old 1960s Star Trek, the effect is sort of like when Kirk et al visit the planet with the "Guardian of Forever," a huge rock arch with an open center filled with swirling fog that the character jump through to go back in time.
The arch moves around the stage, so we'll need to fit the apparatus inside it. We can get it power, but we can't run a giant dryer hose to a full-size dry ice machine in the wings (for example).
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
