Thread: Roving Eye

Tweet

Inspired by the Hallowindow DVD, I designed a controllable 'Eye' using Flash. I play the Flash file on a laptop (full screen mode) then project it on my upstairs window. I'm in the room below where I can watch kids approach my house and I can guide eye so that it watches them walk up. I added a mic and amp and the 'Eye' talked with the kiddies as they came around. It was big hit.
Here's a link to the Flash file: The Eye

Here's a link to a video of the eye in action (sorry for the poor quality). Video

Wow! Pretty cool stuff weezlane! Thanks for the links. I love the "eye"-dea (sorry, that's enough punishment! ) of the interactive communication! I haven't got time to incorporate that for this year's haunt but it will definitely be in next year's!

I've heard about that apparition affect. I'm a little fuzzy on how to set one up though.

As I understand it:
Projector goes below.
Projection shines at angled mirror.
Angle mirror projects image up to plexy glass.
Plexy glass causes image to "float" in space.

I thought I saw a picture of how this was done along with the name of the technique.

The effect is called peppers ghost

HOLD THE PRESSES!!!!! Hallowindows just stepped up to the plate with a new download, EYEBALLS! regular, infected (pink-eye) zombie and animated. Available in a single eye and double eye format just like big Scream TV does. And the bonus, $6 download for the entire group of videos (MP4 format) !!!! These are incredibly well done, my hats off to Mark for getting these up for sale in time for Halloween. He's not doing a full blown Hallowindows 5 this season but has a couple downloads available. There is a preview on the page but I've never got it to work with windows internet explorer. http://hallowindow.com/products?downloadable=1
