krysady Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 haha, yes, he also smiled at my sparkler app that i held up during stardust in zurich: it took me a while though to find that app, most of them are with ad banners and of course you don't want that on the screen. i thought that another possibility could be to just use a picture of a white/glowing star on a black background that everyone holds up on their phones for stardust. but i think with what rose is doing and with the candles we have enough already for london. maybe we can do that in manchester. but the candle app for UW is definitely a good idea for those in the crowd who don't have the LED candles. in the candle app that my bf has, the flame even moves when you move the phone, as if there was wind. Yes,the flame from that girl's phone was moving also,it was really cute. I'll look for a candle too,but if anyone can find an app with a candlelight or glowing stars,please share the link,I don't mind having both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just been to Homebase DIY store, to see if they had the taper led candles(they don't). But they do have torches with glowing handles. So any UKers want to check that out, they are £3.99 and come in 3 different colours, a clear version being one of them:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect would be best if we're all the same and the candles will look quite Christmassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasa Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've just had a delivery of 50 taper candles, to my Irish address. I'd asked for them to be delivered to Buttons in the UK. So guess who won't be changing clothes too much in London?? I hope I have no problem bringing them in my carry on luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 my 2 cents....I definitely think all this is too much. Just ONE thing in the whole gig is going to have success. People don't like to be distracted from the gig handling many props and the athmosphere is too chaotic anyway. If I were you I would concentrate on just one surprise but well organized.

I think the same. It can just get messy and lose any effect when there's too much going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 To be honest, I would be happy not have to buy a load of tinsel, for this one, maybe change that for the Manchester show instead. I'm still going ahead with the surprise that I haven't revealed yet though, as it works better for this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its much more strict now, than it used to be. I don't want to be a Killjoy, but its best to know before, rather than be told on the night that you can't light the candles. It would look lovely, but I won't bring a candle as I'd probably drop the thing, and Alan and I arn't going to be in the main part anyway, we'll be upstairs.

mellody Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) two or three things can work well, if it's for different songs, especially if those songs aren't too close together. of course it also depends what it is... for example blowing up balloons is more demanding than just switching on a LED light, so i don't think the candles are a big problem. it's just another form of a lighter, like you used to have them at every concert in the 80s and 90s for all the slow songs. in cologne we had 2 main things, balloons for OOL and tinsel for celebrate... some girls on the german forum had decided that they also wanted streamers and confetti for celebrate, and i gotta say, yes, 2 or more things for the same song can become more stress than fun. the tinsel and the balloons both worked well though. (although... mika also had some fun with a bag of confetti... ) rose, did i understand it correctly that you wanted to buy the tinsel in the UK country colours? i think this would be perfect for london! ok maybe that's just because i'm a tourist and you see those colours at every corner in london (since a lot of "corners" in london are for tourists, haha! )... anyway, my opinion, i'd love the UK-coloured tinsel for london. if it's just all sorts of different colours, manchester is just as fine with me.

The more people that have them the better the effect would be, so it would be great if you could buy some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
