Ghost Effect
I am currently involved in a production of A Christmas Carol and production team asked me, the lighting designer/special effects, if there was any lighting effect or other special effect to create the Ghost of Christmas future. Any ideas on how to go about this?

Re: Ghost Effect
Although this isn't a lighting effect, I saw a high production where the actor in the Ghost of Christmas Future costume was given added height by wearing plasterer's stilts.

Re: Ghost Effect
I've used in the past the obvious dull colored oversized cloak w/ hood, & just enough iridescence to give the costume a bit of shimmer andhit the actor w/ a top BWL (BIG WHITE LIGHT).Washout the rest of the stage and dimly light Eb (I preferred a pale blue on Eb and strong ambers around the gravestone hitting it with a pinspot)- and you have a pretty darn cool effect. It is a shame my old PC died with my photos.
That's just how I have done it.

Re: Ghost Effect
You could try top lighting them with a no color blue (R60) with an ellipsoidal or narrowly focused fresnel.
