On a side note, the picture frame but with personal images on a loop and you could recreate a Harry Potter moving painting for a Potter themed party.

One thing you need to do before applying the window tinting is, clean both sides of the glass. You don’t want a blurry or dirty mirror. And, thank you for sharing this.

Wow - video delivers exactly what the title says, clearly, concisely and without a bunch of time filling fluff. You don't see that very often on KZread these days. Thanks!!

Minor point: that angle isn't 90 degrees. 90 degrees is the angle between a horizontal and vertical line. The angle you were describing looks more like 45 degrees.

@@Coinmancer Since childhood I've known this as a two way mirror. Perhaps it's a matter of perspective. Each person sees the same thing with a two way mirror so the object is seen in two ways. Or, light travels in two ways, reflected on one side and transmitted on the other. Normally there would be a backing on the mirror which would prevent transmission, right. A one way mirror to me is just a mirror. Anyway, I think we may have both spent more time on this than it warrants. LOL. I still like the video and gave it a thumbs up. Keep up the good work.

I like your idea for the haunted mirror. One thing you should try, is create a fake tombstone that produces ghostly apparitions in the yard. it's a different take on the Pepper's ghost effect. Add and apply white vellum poster board to the back of a tombstone. Take a projector and project an image onto the white vellum paper that's on the back of the tombstone. Get a piece of Plexiglas and aim it toward the image that's on the back of the tombstone. The image that's transferred from the projector to the tombstone is now reflected back onto the Plexiglas. What I did was, I bought a big piece of Plexiglas and put it in between two bushes. during the night time, you cant see the edges of the Plexiglas, so you don't know it's there. Kids would freak out because all of a sudden, the would see a ghost appear and didn't know how it was done. Now you know. It's a new spin on the Pepper's ghost effect.

@@kupolaf2031 I don't have a tutorial video for that, but, maybe in the near future. I'll make a video of it when I have time, since you asked. Till then, here's a video I did quite a while ago. This effect comprises of using a TV/ Monitor that has three images that are separate from one another 1,2,3. Foreground, Mid and background. When angling down three separate plexi-glass sections in a box down onto the monitor, it creates the Pepper's Ghost effect when bouncing the image off of the monitor to the plexi-glass image for a 3D Pepper's Ghost effect. You could use mid ground for the ghost video while having a flying candle video move from the background to the foreground. Keep in mind, the more sections you splice with the plexi-glass sections, the less height or looking space you'll be able to achieve. You can see this effect being used on Mickey's Runaway Railway. Here's how I did it. My video demonstration just has a stagnate 1, 2 , and 3 image for simple demonstration only. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKB2t6NwkdPIYqw.html

I simply used ffmpeg to play a video on the pi, I created a for loop so it just played every video I put in a directory back to back. Then I set this script to run ‘while true’ so it just loops forever. I put this script in the startup of the pi so it runs as soon as I power it up. The result is an appliance of sorts. Just plug it in and it starts playing the videos of ghosts. The next step would be to create a trigger or sensor and connect to the pi so it only plays a video when it detects someone moving.

02:17 I did that back in 2007 but I used an old Crt tv 19 inches. I found it gave a better look than a flat-screen because it wasn't as bright. I built it out of wood and the display was about 5 feet tall. I used it every Halloween until 2013. My brother-in-law went into my shed to get some tools and pulled it out to get something and left it outside and it rained that day :/

Thanks for these tutorials. I don't know if anyone mentioned it here, but I don't think the singing busts in the Haunted Mansion are a Pepper's Ghost illusion, I think they are just projection mapped. They use the pepper's ghost prominently in the ballroom scene.

You can also put the tablet to the left of the glass or the right. You don't have to lay it flat on the ground to get the same illusion.

Yes you can also place the screen vertical below a window facing inward and use glass to reflect it outwards almost vertical. I believe this is how it’s done at haunted mansion, the objects being below the spectators but glass in front of the spectator reflected the stuff back at them. Any location works as long as the angle of the glass is right to reflect the screen and be seen by the spectator

@@Coinmancer The Disneyland Haunted Mansion placed the objects to be reflected both above and below the viewers. The ones above appear to be ghosts hanging from chandeliers, or the skulls flying out of the pipe organ. The objects below look like the ghosts dancing. Fun fact: The dancers appear to be backwards; the ladies are leading. This was an oversight during design; they should have been constructed in reverse in order to appear normal when reflected. I believe this was discovered and corrected for the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World. Something to keep in mind when making your own ghost content.

Since the glass is clear it will likely just shine through the glass and not be seen except where it hits dust particles. However you can project the projector onto a screen so it is displayed and then reflect that screen from the glass in the same way as using a monitor.

How do you make the pepper's illusion large? I mean, the bigger the glass, the bigger the "ghost"?

Please advise if you can. Thank you

The peppers ghost illusion creates the illusion of depth, it is based on those reflection in the glass so you will need to have the glass half way between the object and the source. If you wanted something to appear to be outside the window 5 feet away. It would need to be inside the window 5 feet away inside the house. Then when they see that reflection, it appears as though it is outside the house 5 feet, the problem is the farther the video source is from the glass the more it will shrink in size , the more angle sensitive, and the light strength will diminish so you will require a darker room and a larger screen. You can test this out by just turning your the highest brightness and facing it towards glass so you can see the reflection. In the old days when magicians would make very large apparitions and places like haunted mansion they used a giant pane of glass that goes from wall to wall so you do not see the edge of the glass. The larger or farther away the illusion is, the more work it will take.

@Coinmancer

11 ай бұрын

I was thinking about it and the other option is to place the video below the window outside facing out, so the monitor is playing a ghost video outwards , then a pane of glass can be placed halfway between the window, and the object. So if you want it to appear 5 feet out your window. You can have the monitor below the window facing outwards so nobody can see it from inside. Then the glass is setup about 2.5 feet away reflecting the image which makes it appear 5 feet away. You can experiment if you have a piece of glass from a picture frame, stand it up and turn your phone brightness all the way up to reflect. You will see when you are 12 inches away, it looks like it’s 24 inches away. This will give an idea of the doubling and will see how far you can go before the light is not strong enough or the video is too small. It’s the same principle but you are just hiding that video source in the end.
