Hey all,
I'm looking for creative and different ways to use windows in scenery. I'm currently working on a set that I have designed a window seat that has 2 - 40" x 65" windows in it. The reason for these windows is the playwright requires the characters to use the window to look out and visualize specific things. The Audience doesn't really need to see what the character does, but I would like to create some sort of visual to at least keep the audience from seeing the black void, or concrete block wall behind the set. I do not have the space for a projector, nor the money or time for a real backdrop for behind the window. What are dome ways I can have the windows visible and still not lead the audience looking directly into a void?
Specifics of the show;
- Window over-looks a parking lot and a downtown area in Charlottesville VA
- Must be able to create police, fireworks and rain through a window effects
- Preferably the windows are visible.
- Rain effects on the Window would be a plus. (I've already know what I'm doing for this effect.)
- One of the windows is borrowed from a historic foundation in Salisbury, NC and must remain in current condition (I can paint the wood of the window, but anything i put on the glass must be able to be removed.)
Thanks for the help. Show goes up in April, but is being built this month.
