The lights for the masks eyes are made up of 48 LEDs (16x3), and makes use of 6 x 74hc595 shift registers, along with an Arduino Uno.
Due to the amount of LEDs and their arrangement, I decided to use cardboard instead of a breadboard. The video only shows the bottom two sets of 8 working, but this was due to the wires on the back (see below) crossing.
Managed to get 4 sets of 8 LEDs working with the code, so going to get a circuit board printed, as the same principle applies to the next two sets of 8 LEDs. Also fiddling between the wires and maintaining it when pins come loose took a while, so made sense to go straight to the circuit board.
