We had a fun project to build for a client of ours. They needed a cauldron for their show, with lights and fog. We said no problem. Except we couldnt just leave it as a black cauldron with a light inside of it. We threw our own spin on this project and it came out awesome.

If you're intrested in knowing more on it, read below, if youd like one of these please send us a message or email us for more information.

*The cauldron started as a regular plastic cauldron, we changed that up added a few things and a new paint job. Then instead of a light just in the bottom, we wanted a ring of light so when our fog effect hit it, all the fog will just be glowing green. So we got some LEDs, secured them around the rim and ran wiring for those. Then it came to the fog element, we didnt want a bit hose to be seen coming from the cauldron to a fog machine, we designed a way to fit a rather larger mist maker with a custom splash guard with a built in fan and speed controller (incase you really want the mist to fly high). Of course we needed a way to suspend the cauldron so we built a custom stand that all comes apart for easy storage, also quick assembly. Each leg splits in half, with a custom made mount at the top that simply holds the legs together. Then we added a chain around the bottom tieing each leg together so it cant spread further apart than it should when fully assembled. (Lights and fan are 12v, mister is 24v) so there are 2 cords that do come from the cauldron but we have them inside a black sleeve to be easily hidden. *

Since the show had its first showing this past weekend, I think its OK to share now. We had the pleasure of working with Summer Orlando here in CT on their new addition/recreation for their production of Hocus Pocus Live (travels all over CT).

This was a fun build and got to incorporate a ton of detail in this. The entire project is 20ft in length, 8ft tall (except for where the sign is, that area reaches about 9-10ft tall). Its broken apart into two 10ft sections that split at the middle of the gate, but with retractable wheels its able to roll right off stage.

This is a flat wall design with 3D elements, the rocks are hand carved from foam blocks then coated with a few different materials to create a hard (but still soft) exterior. The rocks stick off the flats about 6 inches, tons of different paint colors to give it depths and textures. The fence elements are PVC pipe with 3D printed finials also the locks are 3D printed. All the rust look is from 916 Productions, love their product and how fast it reacts and the textures it makes (dont be afraid to go heavy with the metal shavings in your paint). The lights are simple 12v flicker flames with AA battery packs behind the wall for easy on/off power. The sign was cut out by our buddy Jordan Brawner with Little Spider Creations, thank you Jordan for cutting this sign out for us, it came out awesome!

Thank you to Jonathan Gerolami and Victoria Truckley Candelaria for lending a hand in painting these rocks while we had a few other projects going on at the same time. You guys ROCK haha 😄

All in all, this was a really fun project and we look forward to future work in the pipeline with Summer. Thank you Summer Orlando for trusting us and allowing us to create this for your show!
