Projecting Shadows (2/2)

An explanation of a project I'm cooking up, in all it's unabashed geek glory! (flame my geekdom all you want, YT viewers... unabashed, ya hear me??)

To make the illusion really work, don't focus on the shadow - focus on the hypothetical body that would cast that shadow.

Check out the accompanying video (video 1/2) at:

WOW, brilliant idea! I'd be nice to see it soon working on stage, with real actors interacting with the shadows. Awesome

Hi great idea. Stumbled over this searching for tutorial's for Theater lights. Great stuff hope you get it to work can't wait to c the final play.

Idea: you could illuminate the shadow with top lights giving it color and structure or remove the shadow of the actor ;)
