[SML] Aurora Borealis effect

[Kristi R-C]

I saw video of a school that did it by using multi-colored Christmas twinkle lights on a dimmer covered by a "cloud" made from ployester batting and suspended between a couple of battens on a wide-squared fishing net. Coupled with some dim lights (it is night time, after all) it looked great and was fairly inexpensive.

Howdy gang,

Our fall production this year (along with approximately 62% of the High Schools in America) is Almost Maine and I’m looking for suggestions for the Aurora Borealis effect.

The director (and I) would like this to to REALLY wow the audience. The projector I have along with video of the northern lights was pretty, um,  meh…

I have available LED ellipsoidals and a twin spin and have budget to rent more units or a kick-ass projector if needed.

What say the List? Anybody have an awesome aurora effect they can share?

Thanks,
