    was woundering if it was possible to create a black light effect. I have this room and i would like the room to have a black light glow to it.

    er…use a black light 🙂

    You can color correct all you want, but it won’t do the exact same thing as the way a black light reascts with certain phospherous surfaces.

    You can probably get black light tubes that are compaticle with Kino banks. Or even Kino tube filters that turn them into Black lights.

    You know what’s really cool about black lights and yellow highlighting pens?

    You can colour on yourself with the yellow highlighter and it blends into your skin; hardly noticable. Walk into a blacklight room and suddenly POW your skin turns black except where the pen is and it GLOWS MIGHTILY.

    I remember doing this when I was about 19 with about 10 other guys all packed into a tiny dorm room in nothing but our shorts drawing on each other…
