Quoted from Marc:I hope the playfield art will be able to keep up with what Matt has showed us here, that spine looks awesome!
Agreed looks amazing.

Quoted from daley:The live feed isn't anything official. It is a pinsider kind enough to give people far away the ability to get a glimpse at expo.
Thanks dude. 
Here. I'm at predator now.

Not official. Just Jared official. 
Some guys just hooked up a UV light to shine on the play field here at EXPO. It was said that the glow features were in this play field...
Nothing showed up.
Watch a recording of the video here.
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Well I hope it shows up when the lights go on under the glass this was one of the major selling points of the pin IMO.
Me too bro.
But I was there... And the UV was very bright.. and direct...
Unless we are dumb... Nothing is there.
Quoted from SkitBPinball:The UV works fine and the clearcoat is flawless, even though it is technically still curing on the game because it is so fresh. The UV layer on this playfield is lighter than a production game, as we have never tried it on a full scale.
Now before you read what I am about to say I want you to know something.
I am pulling for you guys... and I want this to work. For you all, for your pre order customers, and for pinball. Its a great thing you are doing, and there is absolutely no question that you are passionate about your product. I can understand how this weekend has been frustrating, and I think you have handled it well both in person and online.
But I dont believe that there is any UV whatsoever on the playfield at EXPO.
When you were gone Saturday a group of pre-order people walked over to your game, rigged up a high power UV lighting source, and put it directly onto the playfield. I was nearby when it happened so I filmed it. And yes, I was truly hoping to see something awesome.
We saw nothing.
This light was intense, powerful, and pointing directly down onto the playfield. It was more direct on the payfield art than your lights on the side of the cabinet would have been if we ever saw them on.

I have no problem with someone saying "Hey guys, we didnt get to it yet." or "Hey guys, its not ready". But to see you say "The UV works fine" man... its just not true.
Nothing showed up. Nothing at all.
And please... please... if I am wrong (and actually, I hope that I am) post a pic/video of it in action and say "get lost dude" and I will certainly edit my entire post for you.
Once again, best of luck to you and your team, and I really hope this gets polished out and into a badass pinball machine for everyone. It looks sick from the outside if you ask me.
Quoted from Aurich:No offense, but your picture makes it look like you were above the glass. Did you consider that it was probably filtering out the UV light?
Edit: Damn you Vid!!
How do I know the UV got through?
The flippers glowed like none other.
Some of the things DID react to the UV light. Just not the playfield...
Believe what you wish. I was there.
In any case, excited to see finished product and hope it all turns great!
