You didn't mention it, but it would be easy to take this to the next level and animate it. Instead of an image, you could make an AVI file (the hologram talking, e.g.), and load that into the flat screen. You could also have the camera in the AVI video move, then copy that camera flight path for the hologram, make sure the flat screen is always pointing at the camera, and veila! An animated hologram sequence! =) Thanks again.

Absolutely that could be done ... I like the animated movie idea.

Thanx Phil. the effect would face the camera better if you use the splat.

Just thinking... You could also add a light with a light clone pointing at the hologram, and you could create R2D2's projection of "Help me Obi-Wan Kanobi, you're our only hope!"
