Our venue has a cutout in the ceiling over the apron for an electric. Between it and the HVAC, there's a chimney effect that makes it impossible to do ground fog despite our best efforts in the past. Our fog quickly disperses and becomes haze for a minute and is then gone. Anymore, we design anything with fog to leverage this instead of trying to fight it.
I want to try and get a blind going for the Beauty and the Beast Act II transformation. To cover the body double switch, I want maximum opaque fog but after the prince is in place, maximum shadow through the fog. I think this leverages our fast dispersion environment.
Am I correct that for maximum opaqueness, I should light it from the audience side? Then for maximum shadow effect on the prince emerging from the fog, switch to a single 1K fresnel to backlight the prince when he stands up. I would light the audience side from floor pars rather than ceiling electrics since the body switch is done via trap door and audience sightlines are all low (we don't have stadium seating).
Any thoughts, corrections or suggestions?
