Photo from tech rehearsal! The black traveler didn't look as nice as the blue cyc. Photographer was pretty close to the stage (up on a ladder in the pit). It looks nicer from the house! I'm pleased with how it turned out, and I'd totally do this again.

I'll update with a "finished" photo when we've got it all done. Thanks so much for all your advice and help! I kept telling the kids "This guy Ron from the Internet says this will work." And then when it DID, they were like, "RON!" Haha! Appreciate you taking the time to teach!

I bought fishing line from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0791CF98X/?tag=controlbooth-20 This one is pretty matte. Seems to be okay!

We've been making our little twisties and we'll start putting them up this week. :) Photos to come...

Thank you for sharing that photo! Looks good!

I'm in. I ordered some Rosco Cinegel 3801 Roscoflex Mirror and some fishing line that looks matte black. We'll see. The kids and I will do a test run as soon as that stuff comes in! I'll report back. :)I can't thank you enough for all the detail!

This is really all so helpful. Thank you! I will definitely take pics of the process and the finished product.

I have 21 kids signed up for my lights and sound crew, so we have the hands. Haha! Do you think we could get by without a scrim? I'd be hanging this on a lineset in front of a black velour traveler upstage.

Thank you so much for the specifics. We don't have LED drop rental funds, so we are going to give this a shot. I appreciate all the detail in your response!

I've been researching some low-cost ways to create a star effect, and found a few references (including on here) to using filament and bolts/washers/foil with side lighting.If you've created this, can you share any photos of it (in use in production or BTS)?I'd appreciate any guidance on...
