help with script Can't Post

Hi! I'm hoping I can get some ideas for a script I'm working on. I'm employing a light/motion/film history motif to open most of the scenes of my script. For example, the title sequence uses a camera obscura shot where the action (in another room) is seen inverted on a wall inside an enclosed space. In the twist during the third act, one character's true nature is discovered through the use of infrared film. Other scenes include stuff like fireflies, thundereggs/poppies (which flas), magic mirros, zoetrope, shadow lanterns, thaumatrope discs, glass sponges, etc. Can anyone suggest machines (like photodrome, pinwheel), flora (like dittany which expels flammable vapor), minerals (like the flashing quartz) or fauna (like the sea sponge with calcite crystals), anything that experiements with light or motion. I know this is a pretty broad request but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Bird16

Sorry, Bird16 here again, I forgot to add a second request. I would also like to know if an amateur astronomer would have access to infrared film in 1929? I know infrared film was not available, commercially, until the 1930's, but that the scientific community were experiementing with sensitized plates from the mid-1800's. Once again, thanks for helping. bird16
