A few years ago, I put together a Halloween costume that utilized a camera and a travel DVD player to give off the effect that there was a large hole through my stomache.
I built a harness out of duct tape and cardboard (cardboard + duct tape, BFF) and attached an old digital camera with an RCA video output that fed a constant signal to the small screen fixed to the front of the harness. For longevity, I powered the camera with four “C” batteries (regulated to 5V).
I covered the harness with a bloodied-up white sweater.
Enjoy!

Unbelievable that despite this being one of the coolest costumes ever AND being featured by “THE” Matt Cutts, and yet no reactions whatsoever… Whatever the reason, GOOD JOB

That’s really cool! How technology changes everyday things like fancy dress! I saw a tank (Or did I?)hiding on TV using this sort of principal.
It would be fun to trick the kids coming to do the door for sweets with that!
