Twilight Zone Black Hole

[onesmoothhead]

Has any buddy ever considered creating a Twilight Zone Black hole?

I thought about using Leaping arches design to build the spiral and fade the lights. Just wondering if anyone would think this would be a good effect or do you all have any other ideas to create this visual. I might do this for Halloween. I was thinking about starting with a 8' circle and winding in, with maybe 48 channels. Give me your thoughts, Please!

Sounds cool to me;

Try adding a smoke machine, small fan, and a strobe light to get the whole vortex of terror thing going.

I am going to set up something like that for my Halloween display this year.  I have a spifer web that I illuminated last year and will automate it this year.  I am looking at around 14 channels to do what I want it to do.

I like the ideas.  I am going to added some of that also.  Thanks, I guess I will make a video if I can get this done in time.

What do you think about building a spiral with 16 rope lights? 8 of blue and 8 of white with a strobe in the center, add some smoke and air flow. Trigger each rope at different times to make a spinning effect.

If done right it should look pretty cool but in of itself, it is more Si-Fi then anything else.  If you want to make it a Halloween decoration then you would probably need to add a bit more.  I would either put it behind the entrance of some type of cemetery archway or place  it in a grave yard scene perhaps with some type of Halloween monster beckoning people to enter.  A voice over might work well there as well.
