Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Matt Cail on behalf of expertvillage.com, I'm here to talk about spider web decorations. We're almost ready to get started on the actual web straighten, but first a word about lighting. There are a couple issues about lighting which is much easier to think about before you start hanging up the webbing, then realizing you've made a mistake halfway through. First off make sure you don't have harsh light right on the webbing. This can present a fire hazard, if the webbing is way too close to a very, very hot lamp, say and also you don't want that harsh of light on your webbing. Webbing is not nearly as creepy and has a much reduced atmosphere, in fact whenever you have bright light on. So make sure to keep the light somewhat dimmed, but at the same time make it that there is sunlight because if the room is pitched black dark, everyone is going to be maybe dancing around having a good time but they're not going to be able to see your webbing and all the hard work you put into it. Another thing about lighting to keep in mind for set up before you start hanging the webbing is whether or not you want to have a black light nearby, even if the light is very light, if you have a black light nearby, you'll get a really cool glow in the dark affect off most webbing. It'll be very brilliant and addition to people's shirts and teeth glowing in the black light, all your wonderful web work will be on full display for the party."
