Just the other day I left my laptop sitting on a table with some gels in front of it and when I came back I saw this. This isn't exactly the kind of thing I've seen on stage, but I 'm now quite curious to see if it would be possible. A cursory web search tells me that my laptop is made out of aluminum, so I'm wondering if the same or a similar effect could be achieved by papering the back wall of a stage with some aluminum foil. I'm also wondering about what would happen if I attached some gel and/or aluminum foil to an I-Cue. I'd definitely need to do a lot of experimenting before I tried applying this to a light plot, but I think it could be fantastic in the right play.
What intrigues me about the light here is not so much the colors reflected, but the appearance of these weird white wisps. I think they could look really good for something electrical or magical. Perhaps different levels of polish or roughness on aluminum, or other materials all together could produce some different and equally intriguing patterns.
