Santa in the window
The biggest hit this year has been the Santa Claus in the upstairs window. A number of people have asked, “how do you do that?!”
Part of me hates to give it away because then it loses some of the magic, but a bigger part of me likes to share how all of this works.
First, I have a DVD player setup with a 3-d like video of Santa that loops. It’s called “Virtual Santa”. There are other types of these videos as well, such as ghosts or vampires for Halloween.
Next, I have a fairly inexpensive projector that the DVD plays through. The projector is inside the house and projects onto the window.
Finally, I have a translucent material hanging in the window to catch the projected image.
All of this combines to make the cool effect that you see.
2012 Lights are Up and Running!
Stop by any evening from 5:30-10 to view the light display. More details to follow.
Unfortunately, had to have a down day on December 2. Be sure to like logansport lights on facebook to stay up to date on any weather/technical issue that may come up from now until Christmas.
