These will get peoples attention... especially if you live in a city.

If anyone wants to make a laser tag machine here's how you do it

That's cool! Has anybody done the research of what is required - cost, etc.?

[Flirple]

Very cool. But how do you think the laser pointer technology could be used effectively? It only shows up on a camera hooked up to the technology right? Not in real life. Must be expensive too.

The little sticky things they were putting all over that one building might have potential.

No it shows up regardless of a camera. The people that created it are: http://graffitiresearchlab.com/

You can find other things (including how to build stuff like this) here:

They are anti war and have done things for Dennis Kucinich so they might do stuff for Paul as well.

I'm not really a tech person. I know some programming is involved and a projector. If we can get some of the programmers in here they could probably write the code and give instructions on how to make it work. GRL are the guys that put the thing together as well, we may be able to rent one for a large rally.

Found out how to make one

That's some really cool stuff!! tho I don't know if the laser stuff is all that necessary.. we could probably get by with one of those high-power projectors and some stock graphics...

Yeah the laser stuff is mostly for any rallies someone might have. They have source code to program up a projector to rotate different images too.

If anyone owns a business they could flash one of these things up against their building.

If any one is intrested in this. I think It's a great idea... and heres two different ways to do it.

Hers a tutorial by Grafitti research labs
http://www.instructables.com/id/PROJECTION-BOMBING/

and a low cost option using an overhead projector. Less the $50.

We have a grassroots movement, and we need people to hear us. We don't have the TV, but we have creativity and we can use that to reach people. I would love to hear about Ron Paul's name being projected across buildings.

Just do it!!

Guys, I live in the Hollywood Hills, if a group of you can organize the technology of this, I can raise the money and arrange the access so that we could project " RON PAUL IS MONEY..." onto the HOLLYWOOD sign at just after midnight on the 16th, we can then capture this and send that video viral all over the world. Imagine having Ron on one of the ICONS of the establishment right here in Hollywood...if anyone is in for this project post here..

Oh, almost forgot **** YOU FRANK LUNTZ...

[idiotsevant]

The problem with that is that the "Hollywood" sign is lighted. To get an image you need either low light, or a powerful projector(lots of lumens). I like the idea. Using their establishments to symbolize, a struggle for the people is Powerful.
I'm just thinking that for people in urban areas, we as individuals don't have the money to buy a billboard in times square.With this, we as individuals can put advertising to reach a very large urban population.

"Ron Paul, The Peoples Voice will be Heard, Silence cannot stop US"
"Ron Paul, Bringing Light to a dark world"

Just image if you could put that on buildings in front of subways. This could be a very cost effective strategy to reach people. We only have to pay for the equipment and then our audience is only determined by location. I think we can really use this.

This could be another strategy that puts RP in front of people, where no other candidate has a voice. Our advantage is that we have people that believe in the cuase. and even though they may control the News, we have ourselves. We control the world around us, We have control of every other media.
