Laser Prison!

[Robert F Jarvis]

We will be putting on "We Will Rock You" in a couple of months. The script calls for a "Laser Prison". Has anyone lit this show and/or any ideas or suggestions?

This thread on Blue Room has some interesting suggestions: https://www.blue-room.org.uk/topic/58261-we-will-rock-you-laser-cage/

The biggest takeaways are a bunch of points of light, and a hazer. This gobo: https://apollodesign.net/tunnel-vision in a bright fixture, with the right field angle, and haze would be a relatively inexpensive way to achieve this effect.

Excellent. A good start here. Thank you

Just musing - I wonder if 10mm clear high efficiency LEDs would create a bright enough, narrow enough beam to show up with haze. I recall we had some in a set piece that were supposed to be twinkling lights on a seaside promenade and I could see them illuminating small circles on the wall 30m or so away. They'd be safer than the lasers that they undoubtedly use in pro shows.

Its worth a look. Thank you. I'm going to use a more homogenous haze rather than smoke or fog to show these lights up.
