Hi everybody
I've got an interesting project, that is not at all lightsaber related, and this is the only place I could think of to start.
My wife just picked up this piece of art which was from a Disney Haunted Mansion pin event.
6978.
It has some glow-in-the-dark blacklight sensitive elements in it. So we thought it would be really cool if, instead of just putting it in a regular frame, I put a bunch of glow-in-the-dark Haunted Mansion pins around the main piece, and built in black lights with the art into a shadow box frame. Then I thought that, since there are only a few small glowing elements compared with the overall size of the piece, it would probably lose some of the cool effect if it was just always glowing, so maybe it should alternate between UV and regular light, sort of the way the paintings in the haunted mansion alternate between regular art, and the ghostly skeletal art. I don't know if it should be lit from behind, or from the sides, or really where to start at all, beyond getting a shadow box big enough for the art and lights.
Does anyone have any idea of how I could achieve this? Or, should post this somewhere else?
