Halloween Projection Mapping Basics

Can we download your mp4 file ?

That hat is sick

I went to Adobe's website to download Photoshop, which your video says you're using. I discovered there are many versions and am wondering which version you used when creating your facade in this video.

Thank you...mapping is so intimidating but this is GREAT. I'd love to do something on my white garage door. I do digital decoratins on it but it would be great to add more to it. I'm definitely adding this to my project list and testing it out. Thanks again🤩😃

Thanks for the files download to the files :)

Which software(s) did you use?

Your shed has a flat surface. How about the front of a house?

Hi, I can't get photoshop to display fullscreen on my projector.. how can I do this on mac ?

I want that hat. Link?

Thanks!

For people that want a free simple software.

You can always use the paint function in Microsoft to edit an image and save it as a png.

You’re not gonna show what it actually looks like on the real wall? Lame.

he makes it look so easy. I would be lost. I don't use photoshop. I guess I need to learn.

A 1200 lumen projector might be good for a small building like this one, but if you are trying to do your whole house, you really want to be in the 3500+ range for light output.

Absolutely brilliant my friend!

I have a killer suggestion for an idea I don't think anybody has ever done that I've seen. Can you guys make a spooky Jacob Marley outdoor decoration for spooky Christmas themes? He's the ghost in the story "A Christmas Carol" which is a ghost story. I want to do a spooky christmas setup this year as my Halloween hangover last 10 months a year but have no idea how to create this. Thanks!

Great stuff buddy, the techniques here are basically those used in textures creation for video games (when not using something like substance painter)👊, which I do a lot of so felt right at home watching this great video 👊

Happy Halloween, sir. I hope your haunt is a happy one.

Using the projector as a second screen is genus.

Thanks for this. I often find editing photos to be very overwhelming.

Super clever method. Makes me wonder...I can probably do this with Final Cut Pro and video footage in a timeline loop mode. Love your channel!

Outstanding tutorial Derek!! Thank you for sharing this, I've been thinking to do something like this for a while now, specifically for Christmas this year.

Oh my God... this idea to us the projector and your house as a canvas to make a custom-made projection-image is so clever... why didn't I came up with this idea by myself?!? Thanks for this AWSOME inspiration.
I am very skilled with Photoshop and After Effects, so I will make an animated projection in that way. Thanks again for all your tips and tricks. And Happy Halloween :-)

That's Nice!!!!! Great Video!!!!!!!! Happy Halloween!!!!! Thank You!!!!😲👍😎🎃💀😃🤘

Awesome tutorial Derek! Such a great accessible way for people to get into projection mapping! And it’s such an easy versatile way to transform objects! Could be used on walls, tombstones, coffins, props, it’s really endless! Thanks so much for sharing and HAPPY HALLOWEEN my friend!🎃🎃🎃😍👍

Yes! Projection mapping isn't a new thing but it's becoming more accessible with a few companies offering out of the box kits. Glad you are showing ways to make your own scenes to work with the existing elements like doors and windows. It really makes a difference in the quality of the projection display when there is a level of interaction with the thing being projected on.

Oh gosh you made that look so easy

Wow, very cool!

While I see your spooky wall, I want to hear your crow fly through the scene! I guess the next level up would be animating the tree, moss, vines to blow in the wind!

Did you have to setup a reflective surface Derek?

For those with a budget, there are a myriad of free alternatives to PS, like Gimp and Photopea, just to name a few.

That’s so cool. We always went crazy with Halloween decor on the front of the house. Every year I thought about throwing a rock or use my BB gun to shoot out the very bright street light that’s killing my haunt. Thanks for video

Cool

Nice tutorial on projection scaling and good tips on PS tools to use (there are so many options as to often be overwhelming) 👍
