B.Light Design

This year for Halloween I went as a Showcase contestant on the Price Is Right. I built a cardboard podium that lit up with “OVER” and “1″ (always wanted to bid one dollar on the PIR).

Wiring up the lights was a pain, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. And again, I wasn’t the first to come up the idea. Some shots below of the build process.

This ever happen to you: You think you have this really original idea, you put a lot of time into it, and just when you’re almost finished someone tells you they’ve seen it done before.

That’s what happened to me this Halloween.

I built an angler fish mask out of paper mache, but thenickboy beat me to it. And it’s done really well. I like the paint job on his a lot better than mine.

Oh, and what’s crappier than someone beating you to a good idea? Two people beating you to a good idea.

Happy Halloween everybody.
