Our upcoming production of Macbeth wants to have a water feature that needs to suddenly turn blood red.
We will be using a pump to circulate water to the fountain head. We then would need to tint the water. My problem is how to do that. The current thought is to pump concentrated tint into the recirculating water to make the shift. The question is what should my tint concoction be made out of?
The current thought is pool party dye but we are not able to achieve a dark red. We will be dying something to the order of 10 to 15 gallons of water so the tint concentrate needs to be strong. Of course we need something that is non staining (actors clothes) and non food based as we are doing 6 shows a week for 5 weeks.
Any thoughts?
