Here's the effect she wants:
She's standing in a doorway, wearing a feather boa around her neck, and the wind is blowing her boa in such a way that it is standing up, parallel to the ground. This effect lasts for at least a minute or two.
Here are the considerations:
1) NO BUDGET. I must use what's available in the shop. I'm not entirely certain what that all is, but I'm guessing it's pretty standard theatre shop inventory.
2) She says she's experimented with various fans, and has been able to get the desired effect by standing on a wind source that is blowing upwards. She doesn't remember what it was.
3) The doorway in which she's standing is actually mounted on a platform, so there is some wiggle room for concealment of gadgetry.
4) Unfortunately, the platform is on casters and rolls on and off before and after the number, so it can't be too complicated.
I need to have this designed and built in three days! Would a box fan provide enough air pressure for this to work? Anyone have any ideas?
