Default Vortex Tunnel Spoiler

Unfortunately, I don't have any video just yet as I did this effect for free by having someone ELSE buy the lights as he has other uses for them outside of haunt season. My prototype went a lot like this full post did. I started out with a mirror ball and progressed into a modified worklight with plastic jug and then planned out the fluorescent tubes but ran into intensity issues so went back to the internet for component solutions. I was researching another project with gobos and ran across the Chauvet Roto-Sphere. Eureka! As soon as my buddy gets a spare moment, we're going to do a full-sized demo in an outdoor tent with the lights hung sideways from above. My plan is to have a narrow board directly underneath to provide a visual "shadow bridge" to walk down. Depending on how that looks I may either keep the "bridge" or just hang the lights from overhead. I believe a hazy fog will complete the effect nicely.

Hope this helps illustrate. If anyone takes this effect further, please let me know.
