Thread: Moving Image Projector

Tweet

Ok, I bought a moving holiday image projector after Christmas two years ago. Essentially it projects an image that scrolls across the screen or area you want it to. I would like to make some sort of ghostly image but the problem is the fact that the image moves. Any ideas?

So this projector has a scrolling image, but you want to use your own static one? or you want to make your own scrolling one

Can you post some pictures of the device?

I think if it was static meaning the image isn't a scrolling image it would be easier to come up with an image to use. But since the image is scrolling it would be cool to have some sort of image that would work with the movement. I just have not been coming up with anything that would work with it. Below is a link to the projector I have.

Wow, that would be tough to do. It's basically a movie reel loop.
If you could pull it off, you could make a ghost that appears (fades in- maybe coming through the wall?) and then moves across the "scene" and fades out.
Or, maybe a big full moon with bats!

Anyway, I've done my own slides for my holiday projector (round stationary image). I found the best way to do it is with a color laser printer. You may be able to get A FedEx Office store or other copy center to print it for you. Actually, they may be able to do long strips too. You'd just have to punch out the holes for the "sprocket".

Be sure to post some pics if you take on the task.
Good luck!
