I am doing Dead Pirates theme this year, and going on the idea that once again the UK weather will ruin any ideas of putting props outside, I was looking at the huge TV and stand in the living room and thinking...what I am going to do with that thing.....? Too big to start to moving, so had to bring it in as a prop. I had some brown parcel paper left over from another project, so decided to use it to disguise the TV and stand as part of a shipwreck. With the TV having surround sound, thought it was a shame not to make use of it, so I used some clips of waves, mermaids and creatures under the sea and put this on DVD with wave, creaking boat noises and the mermaid song from Pirates of the Caribbean, to look like you are looking through the hole in the wood. I think it looks quite good, I will be using some more bits and bobs on and around it, shells, seaweed, skull and rocks, but gives an idea of what it will be like on Halloween, going to put sand and seaweed along the bottom to hide the feet. Once the rest of the room is done, with the boat, pirates etc and I have one of the Daren Wave lights I think it will go well in the theme, instead of having to move the TV, and it was really quick to do . As usual, any ideas for improvement, always appreciated
