hi
I am making Chip's table (cart) for our production of Beauty and the Beast. The outer walls are scroll work so you can see through. I planned on setting four inner walls inset about 10cm from the outer scroll work walls and then painting a design on the inner walls to match the scroll work of the cart. But I got to thinking it would be cool to use perspective or some other trick to make the inner walls pass off an illusion that the space behind the scroll work (outer walls) is empty, so then it would appear as if the actor's head was floating above the table but no body below.
Any ideas on how to do this? There is a great example of this effect here...
