[SML] Flashbulb look on stage...

[Jon Ares]

Howdy all....  not an uncommon effect on stage, but once again,
looking for suggestions on creating the look of flashbulbs going off.
The show is "Chicago" - reporters taking pics, and I'm not looking to
recreate flashbulbs as a point-source on  the cameras, but rather the
sparkly look of bulbs going off all over the place.  The trick is
usually that the audience needs to see the "pop" of the point source
(a la in their face) - so the effect would be similar to when you see
the (some actual, some fake) flashes going off all around the
sportsball arena.  Suggestions?  I'd like to find some way to get a
strobe to flash on command - not egg strobes or LED or xenon strobes
with their own 'random' timing.... unless someone knows how to get
those to fire on command...?

Thoughts?

 - Jon
