Often, even with a great deal of planning and preparation things just do not work out.

Homemade foamcore. That's what I call hardcore crafting
Ah… Put it away and tomorrow or the next day you'll see how to make it work. Pin beds are FUN to play with.
Could add a back light or led strips around the edge pointing inward. And have 2 or so different coloured lights to add depth.
I find this pretty good actually. Congrats, you failed in failing!
Loved the Galaga perfect score in bonus stage theme at the end!
Yay. An art video. I know some people don't like em but please keep doing them
Try photographing a couple dozen "fails" and feed them into an image-stacking program as is done in astronomy to average out the distortions.
Hmm.. what about a red or blue light shining at a shallow angle across it? I think it has potential.
Try painting the tops of the pins black and shoot the video off angle. Maybe try stop animation. It looks neat in my minds eye.
Huh, the 90s versions of these I remember had metal pins, which were apparently a lot more uniform, and heavier so they'd "settle" better. I didn't know they'd gotten cheaper…
It's a lab!
This is probably not what you're going for but my first thought would be to try a high contrast filter in post. I'm probably missing the point though. I enjoyed the video.
I note that the pin-art toys of the era have the pins set-off diagonally; each row and column is skewed by 1/2 pin width. That probably works well for "analog" images like faces and fingers. Your template is more digital: strict vertical and horizontal lines. I don't know how to do it, but what if the letters were arched on top? The worst failure is giving up too early.
