Okay.. so in a nutshell. Projector, screen for the projector, and big sheet of plexi-glass using the 45 degree angle technique. Girl is shot on a black background and you did some video editing to make her glowing with a green aura. Am I right? Helluva job you did there, and I'm so gonna try to do this for next a Halloween.. only except I'm going to video shoot my daughter as Tamara from the ring climbing out of a well. heh! heh!
Beautiful illusion, and flawless song choice using Moonlight Sonata; not cliche yet still a touch melancholy. (And for anyone who remembers playing Resident Evil I'm sure it will bring back some scary memories lol.)
amazing video! I've been doing some research into it but still cant figure out how you project on to the foamcore without picking up the reflection of the projector as well. Do you know if there any diagrams illustrating the set up anywhere on the internet, or would you maybe be able to send me one?
Hey, hmm. Wow, I'm just not getting this, I feel really stupid hah. Can you link to a simple (overhead?) diagram of your setup? I see the projector and glass only.
Question about the foam core; what does it serve in the equation? Why not just project straight onto the glass? Was the foam cut to resemble the general shape of the girl?
Remember, the trick relies on the fact that the glass is acting like like a window and a mirror at the same time. It allows you to see stuff through it (the piano) and stuff reflected in it (the girl).
As for the shape of the foamcore, it's just a rectangle. It doesn't need to conform to the shape of the girl because the image area around the girl is black, and therefore is not visible in the reflection. Though I'm careful not to have too much light in the room.
Hey Ive read this maybe 15 times already lol, I am looking to do a similar effect in my grave yard this year, could you please explain exactly how everything was set up. You executed this perfectly! It is amazing. Im sorry to be a pain I know youve explained it but Im unsure of the placement of everything goes. thanks so much.
Any chance you might ask your editor friend for the details about the aura? It's especially interesting because it doesn't fully encircle her, and because it moves at one point in a wave-like motion. You can tell he put some thought into it. I'd love to know the name of the software and the effect, if you get the chance to ask. (And sorry my other post was duplicated.)
Sorry, but I've lost contact with that friend. And of course, I have no idea what he used to make the glow. But since we're going back 15 years, and he was a "video" editor, I'm assuming he was using one of the older Quantel systems...like the Henry or the Hal. These days, you could get the same effects with Adobe After Effects. I love the movement of the glow, but I don't like how it doesn't wrap around the bottom. He was thinking the chair would be cutting it off the glow.
I had favorited this video long ago, and often watch it as it is like a beautiful mystery to relax with. So imagine my surprise, joy, and extreme gratitude to suddenly see your explanations. Thanks so much for them, and for troubling to set up the unwieldy glass and effect for the enjoyment of others, and for the video.

Thanks so much for them, and for troubling to set up the unwieldy glass and effect for the enjoyment of others, and for the video.
Piece of glass...yes. Projection aimed at the glass...no. There's a white screen off to the left of the window (just out of view). The projector (hidden behind the piano) is aimed at the screen. Yes, the ghost appears in the glass, but what you're seeing, is a reflection of the projected image.
Nice work! I pulled off a minor Pepper's Ghost in my haunted house last year, but this is amazing! It looks just like the "ballroom ghosts" in The Haunted Mansion.
exactly how you made step by step to the effect of a transparent blue ghost we have seen through a piece of furniture or any object that-that which appears and disappears? it's too much I also sought to make this the effect of the then very long for my film would be nice to give the trick
How did you get the glass to stand up straight without a noticable frame or stand at its bottem? I did this same illusion in my backyard for a few years. On my last year we did a metamorphous illustion with it. Check it out here on youtube. Just go to my video's. I had to build a frame around the glass and then I was able to steak it into the ground. Then built walls coming off of it so there was a dark hall way down towards it at both right angles(I used an old sliding glass door)
Yep. Sliding glass door. 7' x 4'. No frame at all...that's why you can't see the frame. It's just a sheet of glass. Yes it's dangerous and delicate. I'm on my second sheet:-) It's supported from above by a C-Stand. If you're not familiar with a C-Stand, it's a piece of film-making equipment used for supporting things.
this is one of the best effects ive seen i'd like to know if you could let me in on it .I.d like to set this up for our annual halloween party this year.my name is louis please help thanks
This is a great effect im pretty into halloween and look around all the time for the next great thing to have at our annual fright night.this is one of the best effects ive seen could you help me out .And let me know how this is done.my name is louis. let me know when you can
hi this is the best thing i ever seen! u are very tallented!! any chance you could send me instuctions on how to do this please. my children would love this. thanku for shareing ur tallent.
Its a scary / disturbing video made to display my new prop that i made for halloween... This video contains disturbing imagery and is based off of tthe throbbing gristles song called hamburger lady
please check it out and let me know what you think <3
Simple science has proven that it's a matter of black background, strong light and good reflection (window) which causes a transparant image of the nearest object behind to replicate opposite it, thanks to light.
I know this, because I've done it; it's scary until you know about it.
So I've been watching several videos of this illusion set up in homes and I am just amazed at the authenticity of them and how well they're all done. It's very professional looking. If it easy and relatively cheap?
Really impressive effect! Really good job 5qu1d! The little girl ghost dressed in white and the music (moonlight sonata - Ludwig van Beethoven) are really cliche, but this is pretty cool ;)
Im a huge fan of Peppars Ghost and want to do something similar in my home (thru a window) with a pipe organ. Will you take a PM to correspond about specific dimensions, and video details?
Let me know and I'll post my address. - Thanks - Guy
If i'm not mistaken, this is a yard display in Studio City; I used to go every Halloween until they stopped doing this. Which was a shame, they did a fantastic job! If this is indeed yours, you should have tons more videos of the display; post some more...
I have no idea. It's worth a try. Something to keep in mind though is the fact that the trick only works if you can't see the glass....or in your case the shrinkwrap. In order for shrinkwrap to work, it will need to be large enough that you can do the entire effect with one piece.
@5qu1d An idea would be to use the stuff you buy to winterize the windows. Its clear, and comes in huge sheets. when you use the hair dryer to shrink it, it becomes transparent.
I used plastic window winterizing plastic one year, wrapped around a wooden frame. Essentially, it was a great big piece of shrink wrap, but once we got all the wrinkles out, it worked beautifully. You just have to make sure that you set it up pretty close to when it will be displayed, so it doesn't get dusty or anything. It's very easy to add more wrinkles to it while cleaning. We wound up with somewhere around a 9x9 square to use.
@r4nge I have tried something similar with a kind of shrink wrap. But I only suggest using it in the dark and in a small frame, but in theory I could see someone doing it without glass.
hi this is the best thing i ever seen! u are very tallented!! any chance you could send me instuctions on how to do this please. my children would love this. thanku for shareing ur tallent.
Were recording our own ghost stories... we want to see if ghost actually exist. Subscribe to our channel so we can let you know when the next video is out.
The screen is just to the left of the window, and therefore, out of view.The projector is behind the piano aiming directly at it. In fact you can just see the projector light at the :20 second point, just to the left of the girls head.
No trail and error. It took a lot of planning. I knew I wanted the effect to be seen at a 45 degree angle, so my original photography was set up that way.
When it comes to setting up the effect in the window, everything has to follow that original angle. Actually, that hardest part about the setup is making sure her fingers look like they're contacting the piano keys. The key is that the distance from the glass to the projection screen is equal to the distance of the perceived ghost.
really easy to make.....its called Pepper's Ghost Illusion. All you need is a TV, and a sheet of glass. I'm not gonna explain here, you can wiki it up
True, it's easy to do the basic effect, especially a small one. But to pull off a large scale one is a different matter. My living room looks more like a film set than a living room on Halloween night. To achieve my life-size ghost, the glass I use is 7 feet tall, and 4 feet wide. A large part of my setup is concerned with hiding the setup from view.
I do wonder how you were able to make it lifesize. I know you can use a tv shrowded in black to get this affect, but I thought th reflection is only as big as the object. How did you get this lifesize?
You're right... the reflection can only be as big as the object. I'm using a video projection, so I can get pretty big. In fact, the real size limitation is the glass. If your image goes off the glass, you "give away the ghost" ^,^
It's truely remarkable, are you projecting the image onto a white board and then using the glass to get the reflection? I know if you try to project onto the glass it would go straight threw it. What are you projecting onto?
Sorry for the really late reply, but you're right...I projected onto a white screen. What you're seeing is a reflection of that projection. BTW, the ghost was white filmed against a black background. Anything not black in the background would show up in the effect and "give away the ghost."
I think this is one of the best home effects I have seen. That is awesome, I wish I could create something like this for my home halloween display. Great job!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
your green screen keying was pretty poor. but is easily corrected from original video source you were reflecting up to the window with the right software.
Actually if you want to get really technical, the green glow around the ghost was achieved as a post process on the original video shoot. That video was then projected on Halloween night, and the final effect was captured in camera...with no post processing. So yes, my claim still stands.
Thanks for the comments. And don't forget to go to film school. You have a future there:-)

5qu1d 2 months ago
The Foamcore is, in effect, a projection screen. You can't project directly onto the glass for a number of reasons.
1. Since glass is transparent, you won't see anything projected onto it (if it's clean, that is).
2. Also, anything you project onto it, will also pass through it...landing somewhere you don't want a projection. In this case, on the piano.
3. Since glass is reflective, all the audience will see is a reflection of the projector bulb shining in their eyes.

where did you hide the white screen? This is amazing, and sets a really nice ambiance.
the5chronicles 2 years ago
The screen is just to the left of the window, and therefore, out of view.The projector is behind the piano aiming directly at it. In fact you can just see the projector light at the :20 second point, just to the left of the girls head.

How did you get the angles right? Was it trial and error? Beautifully done.
tzkelley 2 years ago
No trail and error. It took a lot of planning. I knew I wanted the effect to be seen at a 45 degree angle, so my original photography was set up that way.
When it comes to setting up the effect in the window, everything has to follow that original angle. Actually, that hardest part about the setup is making sure her fingers look like they're contacting the piano keys. The key is that the distance from the glass to the projection screen is equal to the distance of the perceived ghost.

really easy to make.....its called Pepper's Ghost Illusion. All you need is a TV, and a sheet of glass. I'm not gonna explain here, you can wiki it up

True, it's easy to do the basic effect, especially a small one. But to pull off a large scale one is a different matter. My living room looks more like a film set than a living room on Halloween night. To achieve my life-size ghost, the glass I use is 7 feet tall, and 4 feet wide. A large part of my setup is concerned with hiding the setup from view.

I do wonder how you were able to make it lifesize. I know you can use a tv shrowded in black to get this affect, but I thought th reflection is only as big as the object. How did you get this lifesize?
RionE23 2 years ago
You're right... the reflection can only be as big as the object. I'm using a video projection, so I can get pretty big. In fact, the real size limitation is the glass. If your image goes off the glass, you "give away the ghost" ^,^
5qu1d 2 years ago
It's truely remarkable, are you projecting the image onto a white board and then using the glass to get the reflection? I know if you try to project onto the glass it would go straight threw it. What are you projecting onto?
RionE23 2 years ago
Sorry for the really late reply, but you're right...I projected onto a white screen. What you're seeing is a reflection of that projection. BTW, the ghost was white filmed against a black background. Anything not black in the background would show up in the effect and "give away the ghost."

your green screen keying was pretty poor. but is easily corrected from original video source you were reflecting up to the window with the right software.

OK, Mister Smarty Pants...
Something tells me you're not paying attention in class. This is a "Pepper's Ghost Effect". That means no green screen. It also means no keying.

interesting. Your ghost effect is essentially the same as the pre-precessed video reflection technique. Except with a live person.
And note because that way is Pre-processed, you could still have claimed no post-processing.
Core5 3 years ago
Very good. Now you're thinking!
Actually if you want to get really technical, the green glow around the ghost was achieved as a post process on the original video shoot. That video was then projected on Halloween night, and the final effect was captured in camera...with no post processing. So yes, my claim still stands.
Thanks for the comments. And don't forget to go to film school. You have a future there:-)
