Ok, my previous tech advisor ( who i am i contact w/) suggested that to do what our set designer wants, i need a scrim. Now, I am unsure on what type of scrim i want, i believe i want a very tightly woven one (sharkstooth?) to create my effect ( if you want to call it that).
Our set designer wants something similar to this for a background type thing

(many images just to get an idea.)
How would i light this...
My thoughts:
Light w/ cyc lighting from behind (from ceiling) to get lighting effect.
To get patterns/gobo projections onto scrim, project from behind.
No light pointing at anything other than scrim from behind. (or else i will get that ghostly effect, which i dont want)
YOUR RECOMENDATIONS??
thanks
