Hello all, I'm new to the forums and would like to tell you what I have in mind for my haunt this year so when I ask questions you have an idea of what I'm trying to achieve. I'm doing a haunted/possessed house and I want the house to look abandoned and very spooky. Below is a drawing I did (please disregard the spelling errors I did the drawing during a very boring military class) which kinda lays-out what I have in mind at this point. All my props will be static, except a fan on the ghost and a few small items like that but, nothing moving at this point. My haunt will rely heavily on lighting and shadows for effect and the garage will be where most of the props will be located. If you are wondering what/who is in the upper right-hand window I what it to be Ragan (SP?) from the Exorcist movie and I want a light which will fad in and out on "her" but, more on the "how to" later.
I did a "test" in the garage last night (sorry no pics this time) and have already run into problems. It seems I have way to much lighting for the effect I'm looking for. I turned out the two ceiling (blue) lights and it started to look the way I want. I think I will move one of the ceiling lights to the floor of the garage to light the fog which will be coming from both the frig and a line I will have running to the floor.
Reading through the forums the past couple of days I have already found a tutorial (link posted by Otaku) in one of the threads (lighting colors and blacklights) which looks to contain a ton of good information on lightings, which I'm going to read today.
Well, that's it for now but, I'm looking forward to participating in your wonderful forum and together, building my first real haunt!
