Tools of the Trade / Glass breaking
« on: Jan 07, 2009, 12:06 am »
I searched the site for break away glass and the like, but none of the threads really solved my problem.
In my current show, we need to drop an oil lamp hurricane and have it break. Very quickly after, we need an actor in just his socks to "cut" his foot on the glass. We plan on reinforcing the socks so that actual cuts are less likely.
We need something that will break well, can be cleaned up by actors during a scene, and the biggest problem - we need it to sound like glass, and not like plastic.
I figure that if there is a good solution to this problem, someone on this site will know about it.
Oh, yeah, we will have about 70 performances, so we do need it to be cost effective.
Thanks for your help!
