Some vertigo, maybe, but it's easily overcome after the brain recognizes the predictable circular or spiral patern. An overwhelming effect could be done by coiling the ropelight tightly together, but if you can afford that much rope you had might as well buy a tunnel. Trust me, I considered this option early on, but wrote it off quickly. One could use sequenced Xmas lights just as well.
I am drilling the gobo tubes with random dots. Hard for the eyes to find a pattern. Think of the gobos as miniature versions of the tunnel itself, but instead the dots are
projected on the walls instead of dots on a
moving wall.
Think cheap and unique. I'm trying to be as cheesy as possible without
appearing cheesy. Come to think of it, I am challenging myself to keep this under $200 and 20 man-hours.
