Hey everyone,
Happy New Year! Hope 2019 brings all of us new toys and projects to work on.
Our school is currently working on Lord of the Flies. We want to make it rain on the stage. We are doing the show in the round, so real water is the way we want to go because of the distance to the audience. We have approval on the safety side of it, just thinking logistics at this point. How do we make water coming down look like real rain and not just streams of water? The goal is to make it rain on an 8'x8' section of the stage. The original idea was to have 2 PVC pipes that are randomly piped in a square with random holes drilled in it and, to control them with electric solenoids and just to pulse back and forth between the two of them. Not sure how well that would work. As far as the draining goes the stage is hollow underneath and we have the approval to drill a hole and we were thinking about raking the section of the stage that gets rained on towards the hole and have it drain to a tub underneath.
Open to suggestions!
Thanks,
Russell
