Hello all,
I'm new here so I apologize if I approach this incorrectly! I'm helping out with a local production of Into the Woods. The witch walks around with a large staff and there are places in the script where she "zaps" other characters. The director asked for the staff to "shoot sparks." I don't want to do any pyro as this is an old theater and I don't want to hire a professional. So I'm looking for suggestions as to how to make a similar effect.
Preferably it would be something the witch could control so that the timing is right. I'm hoping someone out there has done this before. Maybe some sort of strobe light I could attach to the staff? I'm sure there's better ideas that that, that's why I'm turning to your community! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
