Let me start by saying that I am not looking to create a standard window flat. This is something very different, but I'm not sure what to call it. We have started construction for The Little Mermaid and during some of the castle scenes we have chosen to do a "window" backdrop. The best example I can find is in this video. Here's the big difference from our Set Designer, the windows need to be translucent of some sort and will be backlit with various colors (similar to the way we would normally use the cyc). The question we are struggling with right now is what material to use to cover the window holes so that it can be backlit, but can be lightweight and OF COURSE not break the budget.
Other notes to consider:
We do not have a fly system (nor will we ever), so these will be built as castered flats that will move in and out.
We have not decided on an official size for the pieces, but they will likely be 8-12' high and cover an area ~20' wide.
Thanks in advance!
