Awesome! I've always wanted to know how to do this. Thanks! Great video!
As for that microchip.com 16 bit contest - their site is totally vague about what exactly the contest is for. Evidentially you're supposed to make something with their microchips by october 16, but what?

does anyone know or have a walkthrough on how to build one of the exposure boxes used in this video?

Thanks, that's just what I needed to know. I've been meaning to do some screen printing and now I'll give it a try. Very nice video. Cool touch with the LEDs as eyes.

Here's a tutorial I did that doesn't require a light box:

Oh instead of transparencies I recommend using vellum actually stuff I personally use is a brand literally called "better than vellum" (Casey's Translucency paper) throw in some super black (some call it laser buddy) to bring out the darks and its ready to burn!

Not bad, but that shirt just can't compare to the wicked awesomeness of this.
