How about a section for low-budget animated lighting section? Or perhaps a yearly contest for low-budget props? Sort of like the yearly contest in hauntforum.com for Halloween props. It strikes me that the low-budget displays are scattered throughout the forum and may be hard to find.

Just a random thought...
 
I like the idea for both beginners and expert users alike. "Making more with less" is at the very core of what DIY is all about.
 
Like the idea there's a lot of talent and ideas on this forum.
there's always more than one way to skin a cat!
 
I agree! This would make a great addition. This is why I looked for DIY controller ideas years ago!
 
I have watched the Hauntforum contests very closely in years past. I would welcome such a contest here at DIYC. Lets get some input on how to run it.

Could you give us a overview of what they do? And as a person with some input, what do you like about it and don't like about it (the way the haunt forum does it)?
 
Last year I had 23 blow olds in my display but only paid for 3 my nativity. All the rest I picked up free at yard sales for a dollar or at the curb waiting to get picked up by the trash man. Does this qualify as low budget? Lol
 
I like the hauntforum $25 prop challenge too and would love to see something like that here.

I am always impressed with the amount of creativity some people possess. In fact some of my best ideas come from other peoples ideas. lol.

Basically you get a low monetary budget and have to create an original prop within that budget. I can not think of anything I dislike about the way haunt forum runs the contest, or used to anyway. I have not followed haunt forum for a few years now as my time is so limited these days.
 
This is an excellent thread for promoting DIY props and creativity .
A real good random thought Phil .
