Thank you all so much for your help! We've got some room separators on order and extra bits so hopefully I can hide something away and create the beam from inside as suggested. I'll also make sure the window is shiny clean as well, thanks!

Ok thank you, sorry I meant quite big, they're enormous for a pub actually! I don't think the frost is a coating on the glass, it's just glass made with that sort of rippling if that makes any difference?

I have an upcoming shoot where I want to cast some light through a window to crate a shaft to look like it's coming from a street lamp outside. The windows are quite small (about 5ft tall, 6ft wide) and are frosted with a texture to them. I'm worried about how well the light will travel through them as I don't want it to just distort and glow, I'm after more of a shaft to give us some background and bring the night light into the room. I'm planning on using a 1.2 HMI and rigging it high outside with some atmos in the room, does anyone have experience with this and know if the frost might create problems? Thanks in advance!
