  • 1.  Costumes for "Big Fish" and cannon build

    Posted 11-08-2022 09:52
    Good morning,
    I would be interested in purchasing costumes for "Big Fish".  If you have the giant, mermaid, etc.  I would also love seeing any photos from your production of it.

    Ideas on building and using the cannon.

    Thank you,
    Melinda

    So, here was our build. I got the cardboard cut-out of the cannon from Amazon, I think. Mounted it on a flat on top of a rolling platform. Behind the flat, we put a wide board and reinforced it so our Edward Bloom (different actor pictured here, lol) could safely and comfortably lay down on it if he squeezed a bit.
    The cannon from Big Fish

    I used a very small cannon that we constructed from a 4 inch PVC pipe. Since it was a memory/story it was ok to not be proportional. Then when it shot off we had a projection of a human cannon performer flying through the air.

    We have some incredible witches (7, I believe) and the giant.  We rent them. I can send pics and video soon, but just got a new computer, so have to lift them from the old one :)

    I'd be interested in the giant costume if you still rent it.
