 Topic: food flying onto actorsPosted: 4/28/07 at 10:27pm |

in my play, a tray that supposedly has cranberry sauce, turkey, and stuffing on it has to fly off the table during a fight between the two actors and supposedly cover one of the actors in the food. Does anyone have a suggestion how this can be accomplished without having the food fall to the ground a make an obviously un-food like noise (as with most standard artifical food) or using real food that will ruin the actors costume? |

That's a tough one, but aren't you more concerned about damaging the actor than damaging the costume?

Un-foodlike noise?? Reminds me of a joke. How do you catch squirrels? Sit in a tree and make a noise like an acorn.
Seriously, what kind of noise does stuffing or sauce make when it hits the floor? And how many people are familiar with that noise? Is it that important that the food make a sound?
If the food flies off with the tray, wouldn't the loudest noise be the metallic CLANG! of the tray hitting? Get a sound effect of a metal tray crashing on the floor, pump up the volume, and nobody's going to say, "Hey, I didn't hear that cranberry sauce hit the floor!"
Just my two cents.
