HUGE Life-sized Stone Portal 💀 DIY Halloween Props

I'm a light technician, I do concert shows. One free tip for you.... Use Kitchen Wax Paper as a diffuser, it can hold some heat without creating a fire hazard. Also, use Polyisocyanurate Foam Board Insulation, you can get it in Lowe's with one side with a aluminum layer, that will hold heat and will help for reflection or if you use pink foam, glue a aluminum foil layer inside.

[@kimnobles7687]

Hey, I work with pink foam and LEDs all the time, but nowhere near this scale. Do the LEDs really give off enough heat that the aluminum is necessary?

[@OnlyFacts11b]

@@kimnobles7687 definitely not.

[@HighPoweExpress]

Depending how strong power are the leds. Is not about is necessary, its just a recommendation, you can work with what you have. Aluminum foil its cheap, why not? The leds I do use are mounted in a heat sink and needs a fan for cooling. The leds on a tape for decoration you can touch it with your finger, almost no heat. The aluminum is not only for heat, also everytime you work with current, you have the potential to create a spark and then a fire. And the aluminum are good for reflect the light like a mirror does, making it more bright efficient, like a flashlight.

[@kimnobles7687]

@@HighPoweExpress thanks for that info!!

[@SteveFairfield]

Parchment paper is even more heat resistant, and a little more defuse than wax paper. I’ve used it for photography diffuser. May not be as water resistant though; tends to get more transparent when wet

[@bingbruce4865]

I realize this video is a couple of years old so this might have been mentioned. I used to build very elaborate haunted houses and projections were common. A give away to that effect is you can see the beam from the projector, especially if mist or fog is used. I solved this problem by shooting the projector through neutral density filters for video or stage lights. Window tinting will work too. Some times we had to adjust the brightness on the projector to balance the effect with the filters, but it worked great. People would see the image but could not see the source. This portal is awesome. You guys did a excellent job with it.

[@WickedMakers]

This is great advice. Thanks!

[@Crions-nr6yv]

Minus the time restraint…you could possibly charge a dollar per entry or 5 for the season (like a 3 week setup or so) or do a go fund me to get help with it and def put the setup and clips of it on here to get money from views.

[@legolab8091]

I made it and it looked super cool and I am going to upload a video of it soon. I added fake moss which woked really well and is something you should try. I also noticed something after watching the video many times while building it. For about 1/8 of a second when the first clip starts to fade out the portal effect disappears. Did you edit the footage to show the portal effect in daylight? That would explain why it was so bright. It makes sense why you would do that because you cannot really see all off the detail of the stone at night and editing it would really help make a good opening for the video.

[@LaineyBug2020]

I wonder if there's a way to make the screen sheet split like a Diagon Alley brick wall hack so people could walk through it... Maybe weights at the bottom hem and overlapping the parts would keep it from parting when not in use. I love that every time I watch one of your videos it sets off showering sparks of ideas!

Green screen cover separate panels maybe out of cardbooard perhaps refrigerator boxes inside and put several together so you can walk thru them so you go thru them. Add the video then of the walk thru. Still be able to post the effect. Add a wave warp as your hand disappears as in stargate. Then whole body disappears thru. Then a wide shot of portal with an edit as your right leg is shown only going thru. Love the portal. Looks so real.

[@WickedMakers]

~5 sheets of 2” foam, 3 bottles of glue, 1 can of drylock, 2 led strips, lots of acrylic paints, projection fabric. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $300.

[@patbo3577]

I don't believe you will have to buy that thick of foam boards. ( I make large columns, tombstones, and grave markers. Some are hollow inside and some are 3 layers of foam.) My experiences one and a half inch will work in most creations, if you toothpick and glue well. You will want to add a inside box with a hole for pvc pipe to run through though. ( Small foam box in side of column form). I would suggest the pink, blue or green close cell insulation sheets over the white open cell foam. Pink tends to break easier & the others carve nicer . Tip, the foam breaks like sheet rock, so you can just score your foam & break it over your knee, but that hard with the 2" or 3" foam, a table saw or jig saw works good for the thicker foam.

[@spat7378]

@@WickedMakers If it helps to bring down the cost a teensy bit, I bought a clear, plastic shower curtain at Walmart for $5 and used it as a projection screen on a recent Halloween project. Cheaper than projection fabric and it worked well.

Ya know, you could use that projection technique for all kinds of stuff. You could use some heavy wire to make a frame to hang a sheet like a curtain using that material you used and then project monsters or anything on it.
