  • 1.  Using a green laser for Tinkerbell

    Does anyone have experience using a green laser pointer as Tinks light in Peter Pan? I would love recommendations on what type of laser you used and any tips you may have

    We just started rehearsals for Peter Pan yesterday! :^)

    We're not using a laser for ours (but let me know how it works). We're planning on having one of the really good computer kids create a program that will have Tink fly around as a projected ball of light and send her out through a projector. I'm not sure exactly about the logistics of it but can let you know when it's worked out. Shoot me an email and I'll send you anything I can after we figure it out. When you open?

    Hi all,

    For our June 2016 production of Peter Pan we used projection mapping for Tinkerbell. It looked fantastic, and I'd be happy to share further information for anyone who is interested. 

    We've done lots of projection mapping, and the the key to it being successful in a 2400 seat theatre is the size of the projectors. These can get expensive, but reasonably priced projectors can easily handle smaller theatres.

    I would definitely be interested in more info. We have a very small theater(think cafeteria with stage at one end...seats about 250)
