  1. Halloween Props
    I was wondering of anyone tried to create a projection overhead onto a screen or something similar? I'm wanting to try to use a projector to make a dragon fly up and over people, sort of LOL,. I was thinking it would pop up over my castle then I could move the projector mechanically across a...

    I have bee using projectors for several years now. ATMOSFX.com was selling a higher quality rear projection material for a while but no longer carries this. I would like to find a similar product or substiute. Reading through past threads, some people have said they are happy using a...

    Hello! I have one of those cheap projectors for the yard. Witches and ghosts, I believe. Anyway... The motor turns fine and the LEDs light up. But, the light is VERY dim. Even in total darkness, I can barely see it. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this? Or is this best scrapped for parts...

    I am curious to find out what other's use as a stand for their digital projectors. I am planning on multiple projectors this year, and in the past I have had trouble mounting my projector for vertical projecting. I have purchased several from Amazon and they have all been garbage. What do other...

    A friend of mine bought a second-hand Gemmy CineMotion projector and it just power cycles. You press the power button and the fan winds up and the power indicator turns blue, and about 3 seconds after that the power indicator flashes red and the whole thing shuts down again. Any ideas?

    I've found that few if any projectors can, or are supposed to, be turned on their side to project a portrait-oriented video, or vertical video, for digital decorations. Please list any projectors you use that can project vertical videos. I have the old AtmosFX projectors and they have...

    A create a few different scenes every year. Here are the main ones from 2020. The movie montage was my first attempt at making one, and it was waaaay more difficult than I imagined. It put me behind a good week. I run the projections every night through October. I use one Optoma EH460ST for...

    I am a novice digital decorator, and about a year ago I purchase the AtmosFX plus kit. I had trouble getting it to work, and to make a long story short I ended up with 2 of them. Regardless, I have not had much luck getting them to work very well. Either they fall over b/c the tripod is too...

    Hi, I'm in the UK and have for the last few years put on a very modest display in the front garden (yard) but as we're the only ones that do a Halloween display we get a nice number of ToTs. Last year (2019) I didn't do a display mainly because in 2018 we had a few items trashed or stolen - it...

    Hello all. Long time lurker, first time poster. I am looking for a recommendation for a new projector for digital decorations. Most of the recommendations I found by search are pretty dated and/or very specific for a function. I currently have the atmosFx projector that comes with the kit. It...

    I have a Epson powerlite 98H. I also have a tall bay window. I would need to display the video vertically. I assume this means I need to turn the projector on it’s side and show a video that is formatted for vertical. I am requesting help with ideas on how I can keep the proctor on its side and...
  12. 4D Halloween Motion Theater (2018)

    This is a 2DOF motion platform that is made to haul 2 rows of seats and seat 6 passengers. It used a Ultra Short Throw projector (an EST-P1) and a promethean interactive smart board for the mount and the projection screen. It originally used Anaglyph 3D, pictured, but now uses Active Shutter...

    This year Im adding a projector in the garage to display the bone chillers video fx. My projector displays from top to bottom very well but is short on the sides. I added a photo so you can see about how much its short by. I need some ideas on what I can put on the sides to cover up the blank...

    Background In November 2016 I bought a used NEC MT 1060 projector (2,600 lumens, Native Resolution 1024 × 768 XGA, Aspect Ratio 4:3) on eBay for £70 and it is the first projector that I’ve used. I had intended to use it for projecting onto a window for Halloween 2017 I but didn’t use it until...

    I feel like there's a thread on here every few weeks asking for projector recommendations, yet here I am again... I've decided I should try using a projector to decorate, but I don't want it to be so obvious I'm using a projector. So I thought maybe I could hide one inside the shell of a...

    Just saw this on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0165ZJ0VI/?tag=dealnewscom&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER Not sure how bright it is, but with all the stuff that's included, it seems like a not half bad deal.

    Has anybody ever used, or has considered using, a caged IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) tote as a projection booth for house projections? For those that may not come across the term IBC it’s normally a caged plastic tank on a pallet and the usual capacity is 1,040 litres (229 imperial...

    I have 4 Miccas, different brands but the same plug-ins because I am using them for older projectors. I need music to come from the projectors and found that I plug the speaker cord into the Micca it will play perfectly. I could not get it to play on any of the projectors when plugged into them...
