Hey guys!
I'm currently working on a production of Orbit, a show based on the idea of travel to the Martian environment and space in general. Part of my design idea is to have a star curtain made out of white cloth, so it is still possible to project on it.
I have contacted many local production companies (I am in Australia) and no one seems to have anything for hire, so I'll have to make my own. Anyone have any suggestions to make a star curtain look realistic and be a free-standing object, while also keeping costs as minimal as possible? I have a very limited budget for lighting, and per my calculations this element cannot exceed $200 AUD. The size would be 3m x 6m.
Originally I was thinking to buy some white led strips and just use a DMX controller to hook it up to the board, however what would be the best way to make this look good/attach the leds to the curtain, while also not ruining the cloth, as I have to project on it.
The other idea I had was to buy some generic white christmas lights and finding a way to control those (without dimming).
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!
