This vid wasn't part of the "Flightmare on 8th Street" program per se, it was one of the various "spooky" things the performers did while setting up for the next dance. I actually wasn't planning on posting this portion of the performance (which is why i was futzing around with the tripod at the very end before the applause ended) but the stiltwalker specifically asked me to so that she could see how it went.
The lighting was actually pretty dark - I boosted the brightness of the footage so that you could actually see what was going on. End result is kind of crappy looking footage, but if you knew just how dark it was, you'd probably be kind of impressed it came from a cheap consumer camcorder.
