Rose petal effect in BEAUTY & THE BEAST#0

Posted: 2/8/06 at 5:35pm

We are developing the rose in Beauty & the Beast and need a way for it to be floating and sheading each individual petal. Suggestions? How is it done in NYC? How have other community/ schools done it?

We did it with Magic. But then again we do everything with magic at Hogwarts.

Aren't you referring to rose "petals"? A "pedal" and a "petal" are substantially different.

Dollypop and RumTumTugger22...

Both of your posts were very funny! thanks for the laugh : )

The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending. The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

We didn't have it drop, rather we had little strobe lights inside of the glass container that flashed whenever a petal fell.

Well, I know it's mechanical. When I saw it, when the last petal was falling, it was funny because it was silence and you could hear a mechanical "whir" as it was falling...
