Re: Remote operation of motors

Richard,
Are you going to be able to power stuff at the floor without having power cords in the way of audience moving in and out? Is all lighting power overhead? It looks like you still will have some challenges. We have used electronic flash parts in some of our productions in the past. I built one into a piece of driftwood for a production once, I think it was Hansel and Gretel. The witch used it for special effects. A fan, a light, some logs and some thin red gel can make a realistic looking fire that you can control from lighting as well. The fan blows the red gel around so it looks like flames while the light backlights the gel.
