Terra, I'm also playing with larger following eye portraits for next year (the pictures I have to disguise at work for our haunt are huge, awkward, and stupid... bleh!). Anyways I've been finding that I need to overdo it a bit to make it work right. If I make them too subtle it just doesn't work quite right.
Oh! and one thing I've tried that seems to up the creepy factor is to use highlighter on the inset eyes. The whole freaky glowing and following eyes really ups the ante!

@Triv27 Yeah, was thinking that too. If this was to be used on a haunt wall they would never be noticed. The idea of highlighting (heck even backlighting) would help loads.

I wonder if you couldn't backset the portrait itself from it's frame and route the lighting under the picture frame itself (behind the frame but in front of the portrait still). Another thought would be to modify your base... leave a deliberate gap in between top part of the base and the upright slab and tuck your lighting in there. One benefit to this would be that you could put a reflecting surface in the groove to help with the uplighting.

@Triv27 Another great idea! This is so exciting to hear the other possibilities of using the lighting. Yep, I need to definitely try this out.

I like it, but it looks like the uplighting wasn't enough to get the effect of the moving eyes. Maybe it would be possible to backlight the portrait, too —?

@MacEricG Yeah, the darn frame at the bottom was shielding it. But, if you saw in person you could still make it out. The video darkened it some. Your idea of backlighting it could work. Put that opaque plastic behind the picture and hollow out the styro more.... Hmmmm....
