fire
Wed, 20 July 2005, 07:35 amHi,...
maybe some of you already have had this problem and could give me some ideas or advice..
is there any possibility to make an open small fire-place on the theatre stage, not using those cheap chinese "fire" imitations made of coloured fabrics that start moving with the fan at the bottom??... i want it to seem real, but it's obvious, that some theatres have restricted the use of dangerous materials.
thanks.

Re: fire
Hello Irma
ALL theatres should have restricted use of dangerous materials and ALL drapes on a public stage need to be fireproof to avoid accidents.
This link is to postings on how to make realistic looking fires http://theatre.asn.au/read.php?f=22&i=445&t=414
If you use the "Search Site" facility you will find posts on a lot of topics.
The success of an effect on stage is looking at what it is mimicking and in the case of a fire most of the effect is the light shining on the actors and set.
Hope that helps
Don

Re: fire
P.S.
What Don has (no doubt carefully) neglected to mention is that he created a realistic "firelight glow effect" for a production I was involved with not so long ago. It was a great touch and has been used quite frequently in several productions since.
Perhaps you should have a word in his pearly shell-like?
