Fluorescent paint and makeup is a great way to spice up otherwise ordinary Halloween costumes. The Fujimoto family has made a tradition of taking their costumes beyond the ordinary. Last year, we wrote about the Fujimotos, the family of our VP of Operations, Derek Fujimoto. Each year, the entire family, including Derek’s brother and his family, dresses up for Halloween, complete with blacklight makeup, paint, and other fluorescent materials. Last year, the themes (which are usually based on Disney characters) ...

(And it's not too early to start thinking about it!) Derek Fujimoto, VP of Operations here at Wildfire, has a yearly Halloween family tradition inspired by Wildfire. As a family, the Fujimotos develop their own fluorescent costumes and makeup using Wildfire paint ...

"Techno Toga," a black light toga party, lights up cancer kids at Camp Happy Days. A toga party with black lights and luminescent paint. I guess you could call it a "GLOga party." (Cue the groans.) Ok… maybe not. At Camp Happy Days, a week long program for kids battling cancer and their siblings (meaning the siblings come too, not that they were also battling—you get the idea), they called it "Techno Toga!" Every year hundreds of ...

African tribe-inspired designs light up under blacklight during Kendrick Lamar's performance at the Grammys. Kendrick Lamar, nominated for 11 Grammys and winning 5, gave a spectacular performance at the recent Grammys ceremony. We’re particularly excited because we provided the paint for the most spectacular part of the show. Here’s how it went down… Lamar appears on stage as part of a prison chain gang shuffling up to the microphone. After delivering the intro for his song, “The Blacker ...

"Our family LOVES Halloween," said Griswo--er, Zoccoli, "We prepare months in advance." The entire Zoccoli ...

For the first time ever, invisible photo-realistic images are possible. Just imagine standing in front of a nondescript white banner, when suddenly it happens… the lights go out and from nowhere appears a crisp photo glowing like a movie screen projection. Except it's not a projection—it's a fluorescent image! Introducing ClearMeleon™ UV Invisible Printing Up until recently this kind of invisible photo-realistic effect was impossible. Sure, invisible and dual images are one of the signature "Wildfire Effects." But photo-realism is ...

Out in the middle of nowhere (in Burning Man's "Deep Playa"—well away from the main encampment dubbed "Black Rock City") will sit a dilapidated single-screen movie theater. Stark in the desert, like an out-of-place relic from the past. A place where the magic of the old silver screen, and the small town theaters it was experienced in, hasn't been forgotten. It's the most incongruous of all the Burning Man art installations, and since 2010, the Black Rock Bijou, as it's ...

A glimpse inside the "Orthospaceship." Captain’s Log, Stardate -309672.7: We’ve encountered an unusual application of the “Wildfire Effect.” This isn’t your neighborhood arcade, midnight bowling center, or miniature glow-golf course.

Docked on the top floor of 9201 Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles, is the “Orthospaceship”: the offices of Orthodontist, Dr. F. Isaac Hakim. Yep. It’s an orthodontist’s office. Open wide! Dr. Hakim has turned what ...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Mayan Apocalypse - depicted at the CalArts 2012 Halloween Party. Apparently, the world ends in Wildfire! At least that's how a collaborative team of Cal Arts students chose to depict the Mayan-predicted doom last Halloween in an interactive art exhibition, 8-months in the making. Centered around a monolithic Mayan pyramid (partially shown in the top right photo), guests were bombarded with mesmerizing video projections, rhythmic trance music (offered by DJ "priests" at the top of the ...
