This took about $250 in supplies and 6 hours to make which I think is not much for something this big. To make two of the letters takes one $20 8×10 tarp, about 3 rolls of Gorilla black tape, and 60-90 minutes of work. Then the whole thing packs down into a checked-luggage-size suitcase. (I tried making the previous banner – the 70-foot one that said ‘LOOK UP “NAKBA”’ – using paint, but that was much more of a hassle; it gets on everything and gives off lots of fumes, and because I didn’t use primer it started peeling after a few weeks. The tape is easier to work with and you can also move it if you need to change something. That said, there’s probably a better way to do it if people have suggestions!) We got a constant stream of friendly honks from the cars underneath. I stood on Boren Avenue (the vantage point for this shot) and took some pictures and videos of people with their signs, and then Airdropped the pics/vids at the next corner to the people who wanted them. I could create a google drive and post all the pictures and videos that I got of the banner (including with the drone – yes, it was flying over a closed-off patch of grass) in case anyone wants to remix them into their own content. submitted by /u/bennetthaselton |
