Blacklight theatre
Mon, 23 June 2008, 07:54 pmIn the spirit of the recent rise in tech topics, I have one:
What's the best way to create a purely blacklight space, and what kind of blacklights are best to use and how?
I have trouble finding somewhere local to buy cheap blacklights from, so I want to hear creative ideas that are also simple and cheap to do...
Thanks everyone for the
Tue, 24 June 2008, 02:46 pmThanks everyone for the advice. I've been wanting some small, but decent blacklights for a while now - for puppetry - but haven't been able to find some good cheap ones. In Melbourne, there are a few lx companies that sell them, but they are quite expensive; especially as you need to buy more than one for them to be effective.
I did have a look at Jaycar, but based on David Ashton's comments I'll look more closely at something from Philips first.
Thanks Joe for the advice on costuming; but alas, you are too late! I've done blacklight before... well, technically a light curtain, which isn't the same, but it requires the same costuming. So I'm all set in that department: we have several velveteen costumes made with hoods, tops and pants... And I definitely won't be looking at anything industrial - I wouldn't know what I would be looking for!
Thanks all!
Fun puppet patterns to make at home! Puppets to buy at
