Hi folks,
I am designing a production of Mary Poppins this summer, and it is (apparently) my task to find a solution for the shooting star at the end of the show. I've asked around but am still not very sure where to begin and would like some ideas/suggestions. It should be noted that projections are not an option, and that I do not have a full stage scrim (but may have some bits laying around if they could be useful). I'm leaning toward a more props-related solution as my lighting inventory is fairly limited. Some suggestions I've heard so far have included:
-- some kind of pendulum with a jewel-y ball, perhaps a light-up toy with streamers or dressed up otherwise
-- small light-up toy with streamers, shot from a cannon
-- glitter cannon with flash paper???
But you know the drill: ideally cheap, reliable, and can give the audience the magic they came for. If such a thing exists. I appreciate your thoughts! Thanks!
