A big part of Disney magic is that it seems like magic and that you can’t figure out how they did something, so you’re left with intrigue and awe.

When they projected from outside of the crystal ball, you could see a reflection from the projector. The floating head that they were mapping onto was inside of the Psychics Crystal Ball (not actually crystal, just a prop designed to look similar). The story that they wanted to portray was that of a psychic’s vision/a message from “beyond”. While some issues can be worked around using either specific equipment or placement of said equipment, some challenges may be too prohibitive of a projection project, or there may be some issues that you may settle with.įor example, in the Disney Haunted Mansion ride, they encountered some issues.

Your space can often be very different from an ideal projection environment. Step One: Finding the “Right” Environment If you haven’t yet, check out part one in the series which covers the history and definition of projection mapping to get some good background info since we’ll be referring back to some examples that were mentioned in that post. If you want to subscribe to our YouTube channel even better! We’re planning on trickling out more content and sharing goofiness with the world.In part two of our four part series on projection mapping, we’ll walk through the details on how projection mapping works, and the steps you should take for a projection project. You can check it out on YouTube (1m55s) link in bio. This is an Instagram teaser for our trailer. Unsure what comes next, but nothing will come if we don't put it out there. ❤️ Now we’re sharing the trailer in hopes that it brings some fun and happiness to yours. Last year we made a comedy pilot that brought an immense amount of love and joy into our lives. Please tell me which one you like the most and I will make a tutorial on it. So feel free to look into GrandVJ and VDMX on your own. Note: Some VJ apps also have the ability to projection map. If you are only interested in this subject then look at this updated article that is NOT 4 years old 🙂 Īfter answering a few questions about the subject I thought I would share a few Projection Mapping Apps (programs) to keep try:ħth Dynamapper ($4.99) iPad /iOS (Not available in all countries iTunes store, email the developer if you want it) UPDATE: If google brought you here, great! Have a look around at the rest of the blog.
