Does anyone know how they constructed Lumiere's hand held candle/torches in the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast?
It's not any kind of special effects emergency because our production is still in the planning stages, but the director has asked that the hands be real flames and not cloth torches or flame lights. I'm having trouble finding any hand held torches that produce the correct kind of candle like flame that's adjustable to the desired height.
I'm pretty sure the torches used on Broadway are patented and not something that would be simple to construct, but any ideas would be much appreciated.
