A wall of blackout drapes would be interesting in front of a window, but I couldn’t handle a whole room of darkness. I’m digging the cloak of invisibility, though!

I was hoping he’d say what wattage the light bulb was for reference. Really interesting effects, and I was lefting wondering how it would look if you put pinholes through the wall and used a block light to illuminate through them (thinking of how to make it look as much like space as possible).

I wonder what it would be like to spend time in an anechoic chamber that’s painted black like that inside? Probably a fantastic way to experience sensory deprivation.

Speaking of which, it would be interesting to see an infinity mirror setup in this room.

I was wondering how it would look with an unfrosted bulb, which would more closely approximate a point source. I’m thinking that it would be more impressive in person, when your perception of black is not limited by the monitor and the lighting of the room the video watcher is in.
