Spinning wheels are feminin. Can we see into the booth like a telephone booth, or is it more of a transucent type thing?
Had a thought about a red (red is
power, anger and manly) 4'
fluorescent lamp on a
track that goes up and down and dims on the upstroke at the same time as a amber gelled
strobe light flashes on a building but slow upstroke pulse from inside.
After that some coves above and below the booth with a lot of colored rope light lighting on an upfading
dimmer - especially at the bottom to make it seem as if the booth begins to float the stronger the person gets. Put the lights in coves so instead of the individual lamps spaced every inch, all you see is the glow from them as reflected off the box. Perhaps a light
house or mars (cop) light
effect above it all, or at least a pulsing colored lamp in bell jar.
perhaps
house lights lighting the booth could have tight focuses on the booth - say dividing it into three and
chase between top, middle and bottom at a different rate from the interior lighting. If you have the ability to linger or make the
chase progressively longer the higher up on the booth you get, the more it will seem as if the booth is growing if not physically also growing. Tallness equals strength. In between growing
chase lights perhaps a
momentary flash of a
gobo breakup
pattern with a really intense light on the whole booth.
Perhaps even the side walls, if not panels all over the booth that baloon out with the pulses as if the booth is breathing and that breathing keeps getting more and more deep.
