Peter Pan flying

we did peter pan a few years ago and just flew peter. Get Showtech to come and quote - we recently used them to fly Wizard of Oz and the cost was reasonable. Flying multiple people at once is why you were quoted so much - that's very complex. for the other kids, we used the following... the scene was behind a scrim and lit entirely with sidelight. From memory we had a clouds effects projector shooting onto the scrim as well. as peter was flying up high (vertical & horizontal across stage), the other kids were lying on what could be described as small ironing boards on wheels, on an angle, and each at a different height. The kids would lie on top of the platform and do a 'superman' style thing - stick arms and legs out as though they were flying. Stage crew in all blacks & black shrowds would then push them across stage. The sidelight was naturally focused no lower than the kids - so you couldn't see the crew. Behind a scrim, it looked awesome and surprisingly realistic. Especially because Peter was flying for real, and that's where the audience were focused on watching anyway.
