We're planning a "flashy" halloween celebration in the fall. Theme: the original 1818 Mary Shelley "Frankenstein".
I'm looking to have some sort of artificial lightning on the church steeple, or at least near the steeple, so people will see something really wild - an impressive flash followed by rolls of thunder.
Have any BCFrs ever done something like this? On cue, a brilliant flash of light, followed by booms of thunder. Maybe a sequence of strobe flashes?
Note - this is outdoors - not just a graphic projected on a wall.
Another interest: having the interiors of some buildings lit by "mysterious" blue/white flashes of light, with buzzing staticky noises of "electricity".
We're not only showing visitors how "lightning" was thought to spark life, but also early inventions to produce electricity, such as the Wimshurst machines, and later Tesla coils and van der Graaf generators. Even going back to Franklin's kite and proof that lightning was really electricity.
Here's me in a leisure moment:
Actually a modified double exposure, showing Nicola Tesla demonstrating the safety of one of his machines, 1899.
Thanks!
