Greetings, all -
Wondering if anyone has experience making an old-style ocean wave effect, where two or more layers of cut-out wave panels are moved back and forth stage left and right to simulate the ocean motion. I've poked around and can't seem to find anything on this. Cutting the waves and making the panels is not an issue, but we're looking for a way to create some sort of lever at the ends of the panels that would achieve the motion. The levers would be operated onstage in view of the audience, and part of the gimmick of the thing.
Any thoughts most appreciated!
