My budget is $50.00, this is for a middle school performance, so I wanted something simple that adds a little movement to the sett.
Gafftapers idea is interesting, I may play around with it, but I'm not sure if that will give the effect I'm going for. I'd like the waves to seem large and ocean like.
I'm already using the cyc with 3 shades of alternating blue in a waveish effect, but I'm hoping to through something on the skirt, proscenium, and shells. Since the cyc gives the feeling of moving foreword, I'm wondering how to get the up and down effect of ocean waves. Is there an inexpensive way to get lights to have the motion of an ocean? say use different shades of gels and somehow get them to pitch and yaw?
If I had a big budget I could solve this easily, I just figured someone must have and this problem in the past and figured an inexpensive solution.
Thank you so much for your input.
Nobody's mentioned sound FX yet?
Sound doesn't generally make one feel as though they are on a rocking boat. Sound with some visual element however...

I would disagree. I've had good luck with using sound effects (basically) alone to give an "on a boat" feeling. I feel like sound would be more effective than a lighting effect which may draw attention to the fact that the stage isn't actually moving and give the impression that you are trying too hard.
