Probably something along the lines of the attached pictures.
I never though about using a real ceiling...that is a great idea. Since you wouldn't actually see the glass at the point of impact, except for maybe one frame, the cut to an outside view, maybe in slow motion, followed by a lobby shot again with shards of glass and pieces of framing coming down, which we could easily model, might be the ticket.
This group wants to make a film about empowering women professionally so the crashing through the glass ceiling is going to be a hallmark of the film.
Thanks for your input...this is invaluable!
