Thread: Advice on my yearly setup (prop? lighting)?

Tweet

Hey guys, was looking for some thoughts since you guys are the experienced ones with your attractions, more so than myself. 3rd year doing this stuff.

This was my haunt last year... not much, but again.. year by year I add more. THis year will be tombstones!

If you look in the daytime picture..I have that tall tree doing nothing, as you can see in the night shot. What are your thoughts for a prop there? Initially I'm thinking some sort of hanging prop (dead body) from a rop? What light color would go goood on that tree? Green?

Most of my setup is blue/red so I guess I'm nervous to incorporate other colors.

Additionally to the very left I have 3 lanterns, and you can kinda see the flame bulb. However you can't see the lanterns from a distance, so I wonder if some yellow spot lights shooting from ground to the lantern would help? Thoughts?

Thank yoU!!!

Tall trees are killer in providing atmosphere but I do not see a tall tree in your picture. Which tree are you referring to.

Sorry, guess it's not a tree, but to me it is. It's that tall bush to the right of the bay window. Wispering willow tree or whatever.

I like your setup! When I do my cemetery scenes, I generally use green and blue lighting in the foreground (on the tombstones) with a couple foggers, and red lighting in the background - in this case on your house. I think a red or a green light would make your tree stand out, but I would suggest red to really give it a creepy/scary feeling. I wouldn't necessarily focus on bringing the lanterns to view. Maybe stick them near your tombstones with a shovel in the ground type of thing.

I have said it before but will repeat myself.I like your lighting.
Foggers would be a idea to inhance the scene.

Ya I already have a fogger, and built a vortex chiller. I need props! lol or other ideas
