Green Lantern Movie Ring

If you just saw the footage on ET there is a clear shot of the ring and it's freaking unbelievable. It's not going to be an easy one to make but I know one person that can do it. Yeah i'm thinking of you Curtis. :)
 
Just saw the ET footage, and wow. Just...wow. If any of you mad skills ringmakers are up for it, I'm in. I expected to hate this ring. I really did. Now that I see it in context, I really like it. And I really, really like the Corps! Kilowog and Tomar Re and Sinestro look pretty damn spot on! Can't wait for this movie!!
 
Look what I found.... Trailer is on quicktime.

Here's a slightly sharper image:

As a huge green lantern fan, I must say, I kind of dig it. Though... I'm not sure about the tone of the rest of the movie yet.

You would be surprised how easy it would be to do. I've already designed two round LED circuit boards- one is 3" diameter and the other is 2" diameter. Each board has 24 super bright LEDs. I've already written code that allows them to pulse- they fade up to full brightness and then fade out. All I would need to do is add the RFID reader and modify the code to get the pulsing right when the ring is near.

Most of the small passive RFID tags have a pretty short reading distance- anywhere from a few millimeters to a few centimeters so the ring would have to be pretty close to the battery for it to work. This could be fun!

Honus, I would suggest that the battery glow from zero to 3/4 power while on and when the ring is right up on it pulse faster from 3/4 to full power or just say at constant power. I don't know much about led controls but would this work? if it does I will take at least the electronics from you if not the whole ring and battery set.
 
I want one of those rings so bad it hurts. We're talking "bequeath my first born" bad. Larfleeze ain't got nothing on my desire for that ring.

Curtis, please. Please.

I think that could be done. I'd just have to have an LED board with two rows of LEDs. The first row would be on (or pulse) whenever the battery is on and then both rows would go full power as the ring was held near it. That would look cool.
 
I know that Noble Collection was mentioned as an official Licensee of Green Lantern. I wonder if Kevin Smith's set-up is an example of what we can expect in terms of their "ring replica".
 
didn't someone win a ring but then signed an NDA so they couldn't show it off? maybe kevin smith bought it from them
