Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Special effects


Hi all Critters;
    In the last few years we have found it harder and harder to do some 
basic effects ( fog & flashpot) in our shows because of more sensitive smoke 
detectors. Also we even had to cut down on our use of strobe lights because 
for some audience members it may cause seizures. This has actually happened 
to us.
     So I was just wondering what others use for special effects in their 
shows. How do you show an explosion without fog or flashpot? O setting off 
sensors?
    I had an idea of adding some inflatable effects to one of our shows ( a 
growing vine), has anyone done something like that?

Thanks and to everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Mark
