Halloween is over and I'm still a little disappointed with the way things went this year. Because of commitments outside of the Haunt stuff I didn't get as much time to do props as I'd planned. Then I had sinus surgery the week before, so a lot of the little things I was planning on didn't happen either. so while overall, the outside was a lot like last year and the inside was improved a little, there is so much that is "in-progress" or not even started.
Lighting is a big problem, both inside and out. We had a little more light outside, but not enough. Inside, there was too much light I think. I want to change that up for next year, bringing the stringed lights to the floor, rather than the overhead. That should create just enough light to place your feet, and do some up-lighting creating shadows. I also want to use spot lights, so people can only see what I want them to see.
I have a few of the projects to hand and I want to keep working on them now. Tonight I'll work on the dream catchers, which I have the hoops here, the cord to do it. I'll have to locate feathers and beads to dress them, but I think I can finish those tonight.
I also have a stack of books in the living room that are ready for titles to be placed on them. I will try to work on those next. I also intend to work some SCA projects through out the year along side the Haunt stuff, so there won't be so much crunch time issues.
