It is your responsibility to make this happen. Here are some things you know about the effect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It takes place center stage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The area the petals should cover as they fall should be an approximately 3-foot diameter circle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The petals used for this effect will be silk flower petals, approximately 1\u00bd\u201d x 1\u00bd\u201d in size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The petals should fall gently, slowly, and continuously for about 30 seconds (note that neither the director nor the designers have been specific about what \u201cgently\u201d or \u201cslowly\u201d means; you\u2019ll need to make some educated decisions).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The total distance the petals must fall (between the level the lovers stand on and the lowest masked place the petal drop device can exist) is 15 feet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The petal drop device itself will hang on a 1\u00bd\u201d Schedule 40 batten, and must have a footprint not greater than 20\u201d by 20\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The petal drop device, once installed, will be inaccessible to stage hands or crew, unable to be lowered, and must be reloadable from the ground without using a ladder or lift.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The petal drop device must be operated from 25 feet offstage of the effect; the operator will be on a level 15 feet below the level of the petal drop device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The petal drop device must be reloadable in less than 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The moment in the play when the petal drop is in use has some musical scoring, but it is light and airy\u2014meaning the petal drop device should be relatively silent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The producers are interested in any device you design being reusable for other drop effects, including snow, confetti, and ping pong balls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
