When I began discussing the overarching concept for the film of Hair, there was one point that I didn't want to touch until I had a definitive idea of how to achieve the proper effect on film: Claude's revelatory hallucination. The rest of the film is built on Claude viewing things through his camera, but when Claude gets high, it's going on in his head. It's not occurring in real time in a realistic space ("fluid-abstract world," ahoy!). Therefore, that makes it harder to show on film under the constraints of that concept. So, how do we deal with it?
