Halloween Projections

**Rich B** · 09-13-2010,03:58 AM

I have decided to use a projector this year in my front window, origonally i was just going to use the Big Scream dvd's that I have, but as I researched this I discovered the Hallowindow animations, Window Creepers and a bunch more. I have found all sorts of cool stuff other people have created and shared or are selling and will be making a nice master video incorporating many different elements.

Then I found this on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/user/TheT2tub...28/xcS5Kry6a4Y and was totally blown away! Hi-rez designs has a single silhoutte video (shadow killer) which is really cool and well done, but this is epic, one of the greatest video projections ever for Halloween, WOW! Would love to see hi-rez or someone do something like this. And yes I know Atmosfear FX has the shades of evil which is really cool, but $150, really?? I can buy a blu-ray 3d version of Avatar for under $30 which cost a buttload more to produce than a silhoutte video, just saying.

For those wanting to incorporate video into your displays, here are some links I have found useful.

That YouTube video was so cool! Just learned it was in Kansas City. Here, I'll try to embed it:

OK, what's the trick to embedding?

You were copying the URL of his channel. I went to the URL of his video where you can post comments and stuff. Just copy the URL of the page you are looking at and then paste into your post. The software here will do the rest.

Great list. Thanks

I got TerrorVision from Atmosfearfx. It's OK, I'll use it. But for $70.00 its only 1 minute long.

I really like HiRez Designs Zombie Newscast.

Thanks for the list! This is something I want to incorporate into my haunt as well.

Thanks for the links. Cool stuff.

I've been using video projection in the haunt for several years, but the vids are getting old so I want to try some different vids this year.

Thanx for a couple sites there i didn't have. Just bought becksyndicate.com's Ghost/demon smoke face, fast response with the download link. Just did a test projection with it on a my window on a sheet/scrim, pretty cool effect !

I also have to plug Eddies singing pumpkin DVD ( see thread http://www.halloweenforum.com/hallow...animation.html) I ordered that one as well and hope to have a 2nd projector going for just the pumpkins. And glad Dark Lord thought the beck Syndicate smoke face was cool, that is a great effect and the voice is spot on, will be a great addition to my video!
