Re: Who says only God can make a tree?
For the lighting we used .75 mm fiber optics. We ran the strands above the carved styrofoam and below the final texture treatment. The fibers had tape flags on the ends to keep them clean. All fibers had about 3" of slack and were trimmed down once the tree was painted. Upon trimming the surface of each fiber optic was sanded to improve the viewing angle. The tree is actually made of 4 parts that break for shipping purposes, base, trunk and 2 branches. The base has no optics and the other three pieces are fed by PAR-16's for each piece. All of the different crews did a great job working with a complex piece to ensure delivery by tech rehearsal.
Kudos to all for a great tree that is gorgeous and moves well.
