The Shadowed Swamp Facade
Hey, it’s Elizabeth - I was in charge of the Heffalumps and Woozles tunnel Cat and I built last year, and this year I did a solo project (Cat helped for 1 or 2 days). The whole thing took me 5 and a half weeks to complete and I built it at my grandmother’s house (thanks nana!)
The façade is meant to be an old abandoned shack somewhere in the swampy American south. A witch has taken up residence inside the dilapidated building and strange things have begun to happen around it at night.
I included a clip in the end of a 20-minute lightshow that will play on the façade every night during the week of Halloween. The show is comprised of various horror movie soundtracks, spooky ambience, and other audio that I put together in Garageband. I used Lightkey to program 4 dmx lights to change colors to this soundtrack and I’ll try to upload as much of the full show as I can in a separate video (depending on the mercy of the YouTube copyright gods).
I’m really happy with how the façade turned out, so I hope you’ll enjoy!
