I have a projector. and I was wondering how i could create a large floating head with it. If at all possible.

not sure how large you are talking about, and is it a film (moving) or still (slide) projector? You might use a piece of scrim and project on that. Depending on where you want to set up, and again how large, you can use plexiglas and do it sort of like a peppers ghost.

"Project" water under the head! There you go! It's floating!
Or put a beanie on the head with a turning prop on the beanie and the noise of the projector could be the noise of the engine turning the beanie's prop!
Sound and motion all in one effort.

Well i have a blue 4 post tent. and want to use the projector to make it look like a head is floating in the tent.

well you wont get a 3-dimensional image or anything if you try it like in the video i linked to in my post...


anything more specific? you want a giant head? a small head? something see-thru? something solid?

the fog-screen effect is pretty convincing. if you dont like it then i dont have too many more ideas on how to use a projector... need more info please!

You SHOULD be able to create a pepper's ghost type illusion with a piece of glass/plexiglass.

Just project the image onto the glass.

Don't know how your tent would be setup, or if it would make that especially difficult.
