Thread: moving eyes

Tweet

hello all, i am new here and would like to ask what is the best way to do something with moving eyes. You will walk by a dark door opening and when you liik inside I want there to be sets of glowing eyes that blink and move around so it looks like there might be a pack of wolvesin the room. This probably is a piece of cake for most of you but I am learning. this is my 5th year of doing a home haunt and we expect about 300 people this year.

Without getting very complicated the easiest thing I can think of is cutting a ping pong ball in half and paintig the eyes on the inside of the ping pong ball. If you light the eyes in a dark room this will create the illusion that the eyes are following you. This is done with portraits to create the illusion that the eyes are following you. As far as getting the eyes to blink, good luck.
