I was researching another project with gobos and ran across the Chauvet Roto-Sphere. Eureka! As soon as my buddy gets a spare moment, we're going to do a full-sized demo in an outdoor tent with the lights hung sideways from above. My plan is to have a narrow board directly underneath to provide a visual "shadow bridge" to walk down. Depending on how that looks I may either keep the "bridge" or just hang the lights from overhead. I believe a hazy fog will complete the effect nicely.

Hope this helps illustrate. If anyone takes this effect further, please let me know.
afraid the fog and shadows will cancel out the illusion but noone will know till you Chamorros give it a try!
