Big Bang Cape

Enlighted was commissioned to create this illuminated cape for a costume party in 2009.  The theme was "the Big Bang", so the lights were arranged in a star-like pattern with an animation pattern that began in the center, and then exploded outwards.  We used a mixture of warm white and cool white LEDs, in a few sizes and styles. The cape itself was made of black velvet with metallic glitter accents.

The clip below shows the animated effect in a dark room, with the cape spread out so you can see the whole thing at once.
