We want to include all the lines and characters you'd expect, but most of all, we want to include mock-ups of each of the most famous rooms.
However: we do not have access to the blue screen room. (Although maybe sometime in the next two years that may change.) And so, I am looking for ways to recreate the rooms in outdoor locations.
Yes, we are going for the slightly cheesy look. We've started to construct a "FrightKnight" costume with cardboard and string, and our plan is to make the helmet out of tin foil - it's going to be a Knightmare tribute on a very small budget indeed.
The only room we've managed to think through carefully is Play Your Cards Right - we scanned in some already large cards, have blown them up to A4 sides, and will make the dungeoneer sit on chairs, which will be taken away (the blindfolded dungeoneer will attempt to move on and sit on a chair which isn't there.)
There was also an idea floated about to print off a picture of a snake, for example, and wave it mindlessly in front of the camera (hoping we can get the perspectives right) as we don't know if we can get one of the animation students on board.
We already have a plan for the life force meter - we're going with the trusty pie. Mmm. Apple pie. (Anyone who is in the Bournemouth area and wishes to come help us eat the pie as we cut parts away is more than welcome.)
Can anyone come up with any ways to help recreate dungeons? Is anyone in the Bournemouth area who would be willing to come down and play one of the characters/contestants? Does anyone want to help pitch scenarios? Has anyone made a very low budget Knightmare costume?
All help will be gratefully received!! Check here for further updates of our progress!
