So I'm a noob, and also my high school's lighting designer. We are doing singing in the rain next semester and the director is dead set on making it rain on stage. Ignoring the engineering behind that, I want to get some ideas on how to actually light the rain itself. I talked to some of the guys, one of them mentioned lighting it from above so that it would work like a fiber optic cable, but fiber optic cables get light from point A to point B without allowing any light off to the other 2 dimensions (and thus in theory the audience will never see said light). My current plan is to side light the rain, as I figure lighting it from the front would be completely useless. So far that is all I have. Thoughts?
Brother we are one in the same (Creepy ass way to start this). i'm a lighting designer for my school as well. we have no budget (as in $0.00) so i'm always on the lookout for parts that i can buy on the cheap or things that i can make myself. but you're sorta SOL because the thing you want is a film FX loop and costs somthing like 400$. sorry bud.
Side Light helps.... instead of useing water use milk... it shows up better... has a better texture...
