build-a-bug:kayosscosplay:Here’s something I don’t think I’ve talked about before - using Reflective Tape as a substitute for LEDs.The effects of LEDs are often overwhelmed in bright environments, like direct daylight, with flash cameras, or under strong stage lights. It’s a bit of a bummer going to all that effort for them to not show up visibly. We knew we were likely to encounter all three of these situations with our Borderlands costumes, so we tried out reflective tape as an alternative. Instead of being overpowered by strong lights, it ends up shining even brighter!(It’s a lot cheaper too)that’s an AWESOME idea, can I ask what exact product you used here? It looks like it has a slight blue hue, while I only see them in the default gray.Hey there! I bought the reflective tape from Aliexpress. Literally just searched for “reflective tape” and kept scrolling until I found one that was the right colour. This prop was made over 2 years ago so I don’t have the exact link I used for the tape anymore, but hopefully it shouldn’t be too hard to find a similar product there still :) -- source link
