The Tinderbox from A Tale of Two Cities is a character in and of itself. Set designer Kacey Udy came to me with his vision of a Slated Ramp that we could light from the inside. We immediately began collaborating on how we could make this work. I took this idea and developed it into a character for the story. Using the element of color & effects The Ramp became known as the Tinder box, as it appears to be burning from the inside from time to time, It follows the over arching journey of the story’s protagonist. It takes 28 Chauvet Baton Quads equalling 336 individually controlled pixels and just under 3 DMX universes to make this scenic element shine.
