Some of my best mistakes became great effects in the next show...
Reminds me of the time in Little Mermaid.. Late rehearsal I had a blue
led chase going for some storm wave action right before the ship sinks. Transitions to a black curtain for a few moments of the Do ba du ba Do ba du ba music.. .. (same music as the lead in to "Part of your world" ) Anyway.. I hadn't killed the
chase in the next
cue...oops... Black closes.. blue
chase across the top of the traveller in perfect time to the music, like water overhead. Covers 10 seconds of blank transition to when Ariel finds Eric washed ashore. Director goes gaga.. I'm a genius for a day.
