I'm off work today to finish the last parts of the garage. The Cave room is the last area to complete.
The concept is fairly simple. I'm sure many of you have seen a 'dot room' or 2 if you frequent halloween haunts. That's where you have an actor dressed in black and wearing glo-in-the dark dots to blend in with the surrounding dots on the walls. Then the actor moves toward the guests and appears to literally come out of the walls. It's a cool effect. We did one a couple of years back and it worked well. This idea is simply a high tech version of the dots. You have a bunch of pairs of blinking red eyes in the dark blinking randomly and an actor 'wears' one pair. We'll probably just stick them on his head or something. Then he approaches the guests and the effect should hopefully be even more intense than the dots. Since it will probably be virtually impossible to video the cave eyes in action, here is a link to a demonstration. When you go to this page, just click on the 'video' tab.
