Summary: Create Your Own Stage Effects
Review: Another in the popular series of 'Create Your Own...' theatre books, Create Your Own Stage Effects is aimed primarily at the small scale or amateur level. The main theatrical effects topics are covered including lighting, sound and scenic effects, costume, fast changes, transformations, projection, make-up, properties, pyrotechnics, weather effects, fire, smoke and water, as well as historical and futuristic settings.

The effects are well covered from a practical standpoint with step by step instructions and safety measures. Budget considerations also feature, with many cost-effective and ingenious methods explored, though production values and professional results are not sacrificed to achieve this.

Like the other books in the series, Create Your Own Stage Effects offers a good foundation for the student or less experienced in an informal and accessible format that also lends itself well as a teaching aid. A useful and versatile book
