Hello ControlBooth, I have been having growing interest in the look that a star curtain produces and I want to make one for our theater (because I have pretty much no budget to buy one). I think the best option would be to hang it from a batten that is as far upstage as I can get it and just fly it in during a scene change. How would one go about making one of these?
The dimensions would need to be roughly 10 ft x 30 ft and the depth doesn't really matter a whole lot. For the illuminator, I would prefer to go with a Martin RUSH FiberSource 1 because of the DMX control and the twinkle effect. I would probably have to buy 2 of these units because of the number of fiber lines being run at a time. For the material that it is hung with, I'm thinking a sheet of black fabric with a bar running along the bottom to keep it nice and tight. I really have no idea what I should be looking for in fiber optic cabling so I need some help there also. I know I probably forgot some details but thanks for everyone's help!
