I did this about 5 years ago for a production of Oz for the Wizard. I had a platform with a trap door in it for the witch melting scene. When it came time for the wizard, we dropped the trap door open and cranked the F100 to full just shot it straight up out of the platform. No fancy expensive rig. Had a video camera on stage for the wizard to speak into from "behind the curtain". Shined a green like on his face. It worked surprisingly well. No it won't be HD quality like the expensive rigs, but it worked just fine for what I wanted.
