Thread: pepper's ghost idea

Tweet

I think im being pretty ambitious so far this year but i really would love to do some sort of pepper's ghost effect. After thinking about the large piece of glass i would need, i thought about just using my front door. its a storm door with a full sheet of glass in the middle with just the framing around it. i figured if i left the solid door open on halloween night and was able to project a cool image onto the glass, i could set up a scene inside for the image to show up in. is this possible since the glass is going to be directly facing the audience and not at an angle? if i am thinking correctly, that means i would have to put the video or object directly in front of the glass and maybe hide it behind something like a cabinet.

I am unsure if that will work. All the examples of Pepper's Ghost I have seen has the glass at a 45 Deg angle to the viewer. You could, however place a TV or computer screen at a 45 on the floor and frame in half of the glass door and project from the floor up. Just a thought, Keith
