Thread: Peppers Ghost? Illusion Question

Tweet

Hey guys,

So is this the correct terminology for this effect? Peppers Ghost? Basically where you use glass, TV and a DVD to create a hallogram effect? Just wondering...

So I'm interested in doing it this year. Has anyone done this that can provide direction? I'm interested in doing it like this person:
Window haunt 2007 flying crank ghost

If you look carefully though, you will see human spirits enter and exit the window. Thats exactly what I want. AnY ideas how to get a DVD like that??


Also what will I need? Something like this TV I'm assuming:
20" TV _________________

or one with a built in DVD player would be best huh??

Sylvania TV/DVD/VCR Combo

a peice of glass (Home depot??) & dvd player....

Thanks in advance everyone!

search the forum and you will see lots of threads on constructing a pepper's ghost:

I want to do this...Pepper's Ghost??

another peppers ghost thread!!

My 2007 Peppers Ghost Prop

there are many more on here as well, all you have to do is use the tools to find them.

You could record one yourself and touch it up in a cheap vid edit program. I like this one [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EntsUMlHAzs&feature=related]YouTube - Ghost in the Window[/ame]

Is there anyone who can create or know of a site that has a DVD of older century spirits?

My idea:
I like the idea of spirits (bodies) coming in and out of the window that are from the 20th century. It would be cool if a soldier came out, or an old old lady that looks mean... Just people from the 30's or 40's that passed away. I hope that makes sense.

Kinda like this...but 20th century folks who lived in the 30's & 40's.
