Snow- Paper Based

[cookson123]

I need to get some Paper "Snow" for a production of HONK: the musical, if anyone has done this musical and what did you use to create the effect of snow??

 

We cannot have wet snow it has to be paper based plastic etc

 

Cheers

We used "plastic" snow. Was bought from one of the theatrical supplies - basically looked like the same plastic that plastic shopping bags are made from but cut into very small rough pieces. See the type of thing here

I've used the same. I spent most of Christmas 06 refilling snow machines and hoovering snow.

As a warning, it clings to anything that has a static charge, and it will get everywhere in your theatre.

Every time we use loud pyros, we're still treated to paper snow some idiot dropped from the grid 10 years ago - God knows where it is hiding - we've hoovered the grid, cleaned all the long term hanging kit, but it still re-appears - awful stuff - AND paper is not good to have inside lanterns.

Show Snow (from Flints, and no doubt other suppliers). £29 plus VAT for 58 litre bag, 10 bags for £260. fire-rated to Source 1 BS 5852 (check this is acceptable locally - authorities may vary). Says in the catalogue it will cover about 10 sq metres to a depth of about 4mm.

back in the dim and distant past Dreft washing flakes was a popular snow substitute
