Thread: floating Head

Tweet

I have a projector. and I was wondering how i could create a large floating head with it. If at all possible.

not sure how large you are talking about, and is it a film (moving) or still (slide) projector? You might use a piece of scrim and project on that. Depending on where you want to set up, and again how large, you can use plexiglas and do it sort of like a peppers ghost.

"Project" water under the head! There you go! It's floating!
Or put a beanie on the head with a turning prop on the beanie and the noise of the projector could be the noise of the engine turning the beanie's prop!
Sound and motion all in one effort.

tada!

Fog Projection Screen - Success - video

problem solved

Well i have a blue 4 post tent. and want to use the projector to make it look like a head is floating in the tent.

well you wont get a 3-dimensional image or anything if you try it like in the video i linked to in my post...


anything more specific? you want a giant head? a small head? something see-thru? something solid?

the fog-screen effect is pretty convincing. if you dont like it then i dont have too many more ideas on how to use a projector... need more info please!

You SHOULD be able to create a pepper's ghost type illusion with a piece of glass/plexiglass.

Just project the image onto the glass.

Don't know how your tent would be setup, or if it would make that especially difficult.
