Tricky one. Doing sound design for Claudia Dey's "Trout Stanley" in Toronto. Gotta make a shotgun sound as if its firing onstage without firing it, and it subsequently makes a roast beef explode. Got two main speakers, fixed and unmovable, at the front of the stage, and one speaker at the back. That's it. The actor drops the gun, it goes off and explodes the roast that sits 10 feet away on a stove. Tight budget. Pyro considered, but ruled out due to budget, unpredictability and lack of expertise. Midi solution considered - dropping the shotgun on a trigger, or a cheap wireless mic on the gun, but concerned about reliability on the trigger, and breakage on the mic and budget.
Any ideas?
