We did a version like that as Tron a few years back. In the end, when we went on stage the blacklights were not on, and we looked stupid.

Other than that, it worked out good near the bar where the blacklight was heavy.

I am thinking of a way to do it without the use of blacklights....glow sticks work without blacklight for awhile but die out.

Those 1st couple of videos at burning man don't look like they are in black light.

You have to admit ...that when they do work...they look awesome!!

Now that's a cool costume idea.

now that is like a light going on in ones head, very cute costume

Too funny : )

Good purchase links from LV Scott T. Electroluminescent wire is the next big thing! Very easy, inexpensive and safe to work with. Check out T's links and I offer these for do-it-yourself stuff:

Google "electroluminescent wire"... there are tons of DIY EL wire progects & goodies out there. I've made a few animated signs for a bar I worked in and even under-lighted the pool table rails for a cool (literally and figuratively) effect.

That is so fun. So many possibilities. I guess we all better start thinking now!

When I saw the videos I immediately thought how much fun it would be to do a little room with stick figures all over the walls against black, and have one or two people with the costumes on and when people walked in, the costumes folks could start moving towards them. I saw a set-up like that with glow-in-the-dark dots, but it would work with the stick figure costumes, as well.
