Hi theresa gann. Thanks for stopping by and watching. This is called projection mapping, and consists of two parts: First the mapping, where you place the projector so its beam covers the whole house. Then you outline the shape and features of the house in a paint program on a laptop connected to the projector while it's being projected onto the house. You mark the placement of the projector, so you can repeat it when showing the finished video. Second step, is the creation of the video, using the "map" you made of the house. I use Adobe After Effects to make the video, and place the different elements so they fit the shape of the house. Textures are done in Photoshop, some of the animations are from AtmosFX, and some I make myself. This video is pretty advanced, but it's easy to get started with something simpler, and still get a great effect. :)
I wish I could do something like this for my kids and our neighborhood, I don't have a big house but it would be fun. I'm not great with computer programs, but I would love to learn how. I'm a single mom so it would be awesome to do for them cuz this is our favorite holiday.
Hi Aaron. Thanks for watching. The learning curve for doing something like this video is a bit steep, but it doesn't have to be this elaborate to have a big effect. Just lighting up the house in color, and including a few effects and skeletons is pretty cool, because of the scale of it. There are a few beginner tutorials out there to watch if you feel you're up for the challenge. :)
Oh how wonderful! Can´t stop watching this video over and over again and I am just overwhelmed by all the effort that´s in this project. I can´t imagine how long it takes to create something like this?? I am really impressed, this makes me wanna move to America ;)You guys put so much love and passion to the Halloween-Season!♥ Unfortunately here in Germany, the Halloween-Season is not (yet) as popular as in the US, but it gets a little more every year...I don´t know if some kids will come over for a Trick-or-Treating. Last year I saw already a few with their costumes running in the streets. I´d be pleased and I will be prepared.:D

@@rmalacas Sorry I didn't replay sooner, but I don't get notifications when someone replies to another's comment. If you include the time it takes to do trial and error, it's about three weeks working in my sparetime. :)
Hi Jeremy. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I use a BenQ MX819ST with 3000 lumens, but think the better quality of video compared to previous years is the upgrade of my phone to an iPhone 11 LOL. Please post your projection on UA-cam, I would love to see it. :)
@@ProjectThisHouse You've helped me with a question I've had for months. That BenQ model has a spec distance range of up to ~12', but you're using it at 30' with obviously great performance. Are you losing image at the corners to vignetting or notice that the focal image isn't flat? I've been holding off of a purchase of an Optoma EH412ST since it's max spec distance is 11' and I'd need it at 19' to fill the house. But I'm thinking it would work fine.
@@MCR6000 I think when the manufactures list their specs, they put the max distance as the furthest away you can be and still achieve the lumens they promise. So when I move my projector back to 30 ft, I'm not getting 3000 lumens anymore, but the video is still in focus (well, not 100% everywhere, as the distance from the center to the corners will vary by a handful of feet, as you mention, but it's not noticeable).
@@ProjectThisHouse Thanks for the info and great job on your show. It tells a good story with a creative design. These comments really helped me deciding on a projector. Your house is fairly close in design to mine and the projector would be at roughly 30ft as well. Where is the projection in relation to the house? How high is it off the ground? Can you share information about your projector enclosure?
@@duframe2008, my projector is only out on Halloween Even, so I don't really have the need for an enclosure. The one year it drizzled a little bit (so far), I put a pop-up over it. It's just positioned on a regular projector stand (google H. Wilson WPS3 Mobile Presentation Station /Projector Stand with Adjustable Shelf) that has a little shelf for my laptop. That puts the projector about 4 ft off the ground. As my house is sitting up a little bit from the front of the driveway, that makes the projector flush with the foundation of the house, which mean I have to tilt the projector down a little bit to cover everything. If you look the videos I have that are in a wider shot, you can kind of see the setup. I can't wait to see what you come up with. :)
@projectthishouse we want to do home projection so bad. Getting overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start. Would love you gather a list of items and tips from you if possible?
Hi Andrea Gleason. Thanks for watching. I think the best advice I can give is to start small. Even just lighting up the house with a great texture is a great effect. Then if that works and you feel you have time and energy, begin adding small elements to your project. The biggest mistake is to break your neck on a very ambitious idea on the first try and end up with nothing because you ran out of time or you couldn't make it look right. :) You'll need a projector and a computer with some video editing software, so there's also an expense in $ if you don't already have any of those. For me, I had all that, so it was just the time. :) If you need to buy a projector, I suggest you look for a "short throw"-model. They have more of a wide angle lens, so you can place it closer to the house and not lose too much light intensity. DON'T buy ANY projector coming out of China!! :)
HI Guillaume Cardon. Thanks for watching. Yes, the growing vines are "homemade". I found a Cinema4D tutorial on UA-cam that showed the general idea, and then I just tweaked it to fit my house model. I was pretty simple, just took a little bit of time rendering. :)
Hi Debby. Thanks for watching. I believe it was when I saw the 100th celebration of the bike race Tour De France, where they transformed the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with projection mapping. That got me looking into the technique and gave me the idea to do something similar on my house. :)
I'm definitely an AtmosFX user as well. Just projecting lots of their talking figures bur this is a whole wonderful production that is really making me want to get into. I am completely inspired to learn how to program this. My heart races watching this just like when I go to Disneyland and get on my favorite ride the Haunted Mansion. What kind of projector do you use? I did by two better quality projectors for my AtmosFX downloads and they worked well but I know for a house projection I would need at least 3,800 Lumens I do know that. I'm thinking 5,000 Lumens right? Thanks for making me happy and doing what you do! Heidi
Hi Heidi. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I can tell you love Halloween as much as we do. I use a BenQ MX819ST projector with 3000 lumens. Because it's a "short throw" projector, I can place it closer to my house, so I don't lose too much light intensity. If I used a regular projector, I would have to place it further from the house and would therefore need more lumens to get the same intensity, as light loses power drastically over distance. It's hard to recommend anything without knowing your setup possibilities. :)
ProjectThisHouse thank you so much for responding back to me! I have another question.... do you have to cover anything on the house with projection screen? I swear it looks like you cover your windows with screen. I purchased some light grey shear chiffon off amazon for this year’s projections for my windows and garage. Oh also I have a brick house and don’t think it would be a good foundation for projection. What do you think? I’ll send you a pic of it and please let me know what you think. 🧡
Hi Heidi. Yes, I cover all windows. Both those on the garage door (cardboard) and those on the house (fitted sheets). The brick parts of your house will be a problem is it is dark bricks. We have a foundation in bricks as you can see, but they are somewhat light in color. Still I try to avoid to project anything that moves on those parts. For when I'm using my AtmosFX ghosts, I have made some wooden cut outs, so they can be placed anywhere. I hope that helps. :)
What projector do you use? I have never seen a projector do that but props to you this is very impressive I love how your neighbors come every year to watch good job keep up the good work I liked and subbed
Hi ZhiloFN. Thanks for watching and the kind words. This is done with a consumer BenQ MX819ST projector with 3000 lumens. I found it on eBay for $380, but have seen them even cheaper. Each year the projection takes a bit of time to plan and make, but when the whole neighborhood shows up to watch, it makes it all worth it for sure.
@@ProjectThisHouse Amazing job! I was looking at that projector for my project this year, and was curious how you broadcast the sound. It doesn't appear to have bluetooth connectivity, so do you hard wire it to external speakers?
@@kerry3608 Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, replies to posts created by others don't end up in my notifications. I do have my speakers hard wired. I do that primarily for the stability of the connection. as I don't really trust anything wireless, and in this case it's only about 35 feet of cable that's needed. :)
This is the first time I have come across this and I am in Awe...how do you do this? Is it a program? This would be so Awesome to use on our pumpkin farm for the Haunted House😍😍😍
Hi Chavez Roy. This is a video I've tailor made to fit the features of my house, that is being projected onto the house. The technique is called Projection Mapping, and you can google that if you're interested in learning how it's done. :)
Hi RoyaleHighBry 49. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I don't know if we'll do anything this year. I don't want to be the one causing a local outbreak. but we'll see. :)
this is marvelous! pls make a tutorial! where can i find all of these sub-footages to add it to my project!? i m starting to learn HeavyM in last week and i want to impress my neighborhoods here in a small Greek town with a Christmas project!
Hi S.D. I'm finally starting to plan and record tutorials, but we have Thanksgiving approaching, so I don't know when they'll be ready. I make most of my stuff myself, but get the rest at AtmosFX.com. Thanks for stopping by and watching. :)
Hi @@ProjectThisHouse ! thanx for answering. its difficult for me to find a way to make these textures that you use to make the house of bricks.. the magenta house.. the moving walls.. windows.. doors.. etc. could you please tell me the software that you use for all of that?! thanks in advance!
@@DarKHumOuR3 Sure thing: I make the textures in Adobe Photoshop and then animate them in either Adobe After Effects - or if it has to be a 3D effect, I use use Cinema 4D. But not everything has to be done in a complicated animation. Sometimes simple effects work just as well. :)
@@ProjectThisHouse thank you very much! so, the final result was a combination of many software! i m telling that because i blow my mind three days now to find a mapping software that has timeline features, like Vegas or After Effects did, to put all the mapped videos (as layers) in time sequence that i like, but i cant find something! so, i have a lot of work to do.. but.. thanx again for the infos!
@@DarKHumOuR3 for my kind of videos, it would be silly to use a mapping software program. For me, it's much easier to make a 2D map of my house with a paint program (Photoshop) and then use that file in the video editing program (AfterEffects) to create the video. That gives me way more control over the process than trying to line everything up in a mapping software program. But that's just me. :)
That was unbelievable, amazing, fantastic. How did u do that? Im the only house in my neighbourhood in Australia that does Halloween n I would love to do this in 2020
Hi Irene. Thank you for your kind words. This is called "projection mapping", so you can google that, but it is basically using a video projector placed in front of your house, to show a video onto your house. When creating the video, it has been modified to fit the features and shape of your house. That was the short version. :)
Hi John Hillier. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it. This was done using a single projector. I have since started stacking projectors and aligning them using MadMapper software, but it is tricky to get perfect,. :)

Hi Tyler. Thank you for stopping by and watching. Well, most time is spend on getting the idea and then a lot of trial and error. Once I know what will be in it and actually start putting it together, it's pretty quick due to the initial mapping of the house can be reused year after year.
@@tylergoble9017 Hi Tyler, I only do Halloween because it's just the one night. The setup required would make a Christmas show too much of a hassle to set up and take down every night in the weeks leading up to Christmas. :)

Hi JaZzmine. Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I do plan on doing some tutorials in the near future. Budget for this? I've done this some years now, so I already have the equipment needed to make this (computer, software and projector), but the budget for the actual video I project onto the house is only around $40 and that is for the singing ghosts, some of the skeletons and shadow videos that I got at AtmosFX.com. :)

Hi there, The Simp Police. Thank you for liking the projections. So far the virus isn't threatening a 2020 version. :)
ProjectThisHouse o dam, that sucks. Well let’s get our finger crossed that there will be one!
@@vseglu9754 Sorry! I corrected my previous reply. It was meant to say "isn't"! LOL
Fantastic job ! Awesome as hell !
Thanks a lot, madmiask. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)
Just wow! Outstanding 💀👏👏💀
Hi Karen T. Thank you for watching. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)
wonder how the PA was setup. This is simply amazing!
Hi B Minkl. Thank you for stopping by and watching. I run the video from a laptop with a USB audio interface connected to it. The audio goes from the interface to a couple of powered Behringer PA speakers placed on each side of the house. Works great and plenty loud. :)
@@ProjectThisHouse Awesome! Love it. great job.
Best one yet! Been a fan for awhile and have started dabbling in projections, and you are one of the main reasons. Only now I can't watch yours until AFTER Halloween. It makes everything else pale in comparison and I'd start seconding guessing everything I did! Great job and can't wait until next year.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Marshall Woodworks. I just checked yours out and you're definitely one of the reasons I have to go over the top every year! LOL. Thanks for watching and for sharing the love of projection mapping. :)
You may have answered this here and I missed it, but my wife wants info to get started. What projector do you use and where did you get it? Point me in a direction. Your show is awesome.
Amazing job! I've just discovered your channel. This is so cool and I'm about to binge watch your other ones. Happy Halloween!!!! 🎃🦇🥧👹😊🍁🍂🎆👺🕯☠🥂
Hi Trolley Troll. Wow, thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed the rest of them, although the old ones are a little more simple as I was learning as I went along. Happy Halloween to you too. :)
That's hauntingly creative....
Thank you for stopping by, Darrell. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)

wow..,..this is great ,,,,do u share how to do this,,,,,i live in murfreesboro, tn and kids cannot trick or treat this year but with this i could put out candy an let them watch,,,,,halloween is my favorite holiday....great great job,,,,.you made halloween fun ...thank you
Hi theresa gann. Thanks for stopping by and watching. This is called projection mapping, and consists of two parts: First the mapping, where you place the projector so its beam covers the whole house. Then you outline the shape and features of the house in a paint program on a laptop connected to the projector while it's being projected onto the house. You mark the placement of the projector, so you can repeat it when showing the finished video. Second step, is the creation of the video, using the "map" you made of the house. I use Adobe After Effects to make the video, and place the different elements so they fit the shape of the house. Textures are done in Photoshop, some of the animations are from AtmosFX, and some I make myself. This video is pretty advanced, but it's easy to get started with something simpler, and still get a great effect. :)
Omg, you put some huge effort into it!
Hi Chad. Thanks for watching. Yes, I do put a little work into this, but I'm having fun too and learning a bunch while doing it. :)
You really outdid yourself this year!
Thank you, Akilah. I appreciate you liking it. :)
I wish I could do something like this for my kids and our neighborhood, I don't have a big house but it would be fun. I'm not great with computer programs, but I would love to learn how. I'm a single mom so it would be awesome to do for them cuz this is our favorite holiday.
Hi Aaron. Thanks for watching. The learning curve for doing something like this video is a bit steep, but it doesn't have to be this elaborate to have a big effect. Just lighting up the house in color, and including a few effects and skeletons is pretty cool, because of the scale of it. There are a few beginner tutorials out there to watch if you feel you're up for the challenge. :)
Looks really awesome
Thank you so much. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)
Oh how wonderful! Can´t stop watching this video over and over again and I am just overwhelmed by all the effort that´s in this project. I can´t imagine how long it takes to create something like this?? I am really impressed, this makes me wanna move to America ;)You guys put so much love and passion to the Halloween-Season!♥ Unfortunately here in Germany, the Halloween-Season is not (yet) as popular as in the US, but it gets a little more every year...I don´t know if some kids will come over for a Trick-or-Treating. Last year I saw already a few with their costumes running in the streets. I´d be pleased and I will be prepared.:D
Hi Alegria. Thank you for stopping by and watching. I appreciate your kind words and I'm happy you enjoyed it. I've seen a couple of spooky videos from Germany, so someone is doing something, Here's a link to one of them: ua-cam.com/video/zMemPwDotu4/v-deo.html Happy Halloween. :)
This is the coolest damn thing I've ever seen! 😁
Awww, thank you, Angela. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)

Thank you for stopping by and watching, neveen jo. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)
Without going through all 700+ comments. What engine or software did you use for the ghost and skeleton movement?
Hi Wa Weekenders. The ghosts and (some of the) skeletons were bought at AtmosFX.com as pre-made animations, I just built my story around them. :)
I'm so excited for Halloween this year me and Marley are going as Aurora and Flora from sleeping beauty and her dress is pink y'all ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Thanks for watching. I agree: Halloween is awesome. :)
I’m glad I can across this it’s amazing
Maybe u could do a American horror story one year
Hi Sophia Bridgwood. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I haven't watched the show, but it has to be somewhat kid-friendly because of the audience. :)
@@ProjectThisHouse oh ok then maybe u could do a witch who makes the house have a giant spider on it
who built out the video for the projection? what a great job!
Hi Andrew Scudera. Thanks for watching and the kind words. This is 100% homemade with a handful added elements from AtmosFX.com. :)
Wow! This is so awesome! 🖤👍🏻😊
Hi Hexenstaub. I'm happy you liked it. Thanks for watching. :)
WHAT SOFTWARE DO U USE TO GET THIS EFFECT
Hi Liz. I use a mix of different programs such as Photoshop and After Effects from Adobe, and Cinema4D from Maxon. Thanks for stopping by and watching. :)
ProjectThisHouse how long does 1 project take you? It’s absolutely amazing and wish I could see this in person
It’s Amazing, 1st time seeing your video.!!😊
@@rmalacas Sorry I didn't replay sooner, but I don't get notifications when someone replies to another's comment. If you include the time it takes to do trial and error, it's about three weeks working in my sparetime. :)
@@AtmxDawg24 Thanks for stopping by and watching. :)
Really amazing this year!!! Great job! I ran 2 BenQs, but not as many lumens. Which model projector gives you that clarity and brightness? #addtocart
Hi Jeremy. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I use a BenQ MX819ST with 3000 lumens, but think the better quality of video compared to previous years is the upgrade of my phone to an iPhone 11 LOL. Please post your projection on UA-cam, I would love to see it. :)
@@ProjectThisHouse You've helped me with a question I've had for months. That BenQ model has a spec distance range of up to ~12', but you're using it at 30' with obviously great performance. Are you losing image at the corners to vignetting or notice that the focal image isn't flat? I've been holding off of a purchase of an Optoma EH412ST
since it's max spec distance is 11' and I'd need it at 19' to fill the house. But I'm thinking it would work fine.
@@MCR6000 I think when the manufactures list their specs, they put the max distance as the furthest away you can be and still achieve the lumens they promise. So when I move my projector back to 30 ft, I'm not getting 3000 lumens anymore, but the video is still in focus (well, not 100% everywhere, as the distance from the center to the corners will vary by a handful of feet, as you mention, but it's not noticeable).
@@ProjectThisHouse Thanks for the info and great job on your show. It tells a good story with a creative design. These comments really helped me deciding on a projector. Your house is fairly close in design to mine and the projector would be at roughly 30ft as well.
Where is the projection in relation to the house? How high is it off the ground? Can you share information about your projector enclosure?
@@duframe2008, my projector is only out on Halloween Even, so I don't really have the need for an enclosure. The one year it drizzled a little bit (so far), I put a pop-up over it. It's just positioned on a regular projector stand (google H. Wilson WPS3 Mobile Presentation Station /Projector Stand with Adjustable Shelf) that has a little shelf for my laptop. That puts the projector about 4 ft off the ground. As my house is sitting up a little bit from the front of the driveway, that makes the projector flush with the foundation of the house, which mean I have to tilt the projector down a little bit to cover everything. If you look the videos I have that are in a wider shot, you can kind of see the setup. I can't wait to see what you come up with. :)
This is amazing you did a great job on this
Hi Teresa russell. I'm happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by and watching. :)
Wow that was amazing...
Hi DJ A Buffalo. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)
@projectthishouse we want to do home projection so bad. Getting overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start. Would love you gather a list of items and tips from you if possible?
Hi Andrea Gleason. Thanks for watching. I think the best advice I can give is to start small. Even just lighting up the house with a great texture is a great effect. Then if that works and you feel you have time and energy, begin adding small elements to your project. The biggest mistake is to break your neck on a very ambitious idea on the first try and end up with nothing because you ran out of time or you couldn't make it look right. :)
You'll need a projector and a computer with some video editing software, so there's also an expense in $ if you don't already have any of those. For me, I had all that, so it was just the time. :)
If you need to buy a projector, I suggest you look for a "short throw"-model. They have more of a wide angle lens, so you can place it closer to the house and not lose too much light intensity. DON'T buy ANY projector coming out of China!! :)
What projector/s are you using? Lumens? Thx.
Hi Mini DK#9. I'm using a consumer BenQ MX819ST with 3000 lumens. Thanks for watching. :)
holy shit thats more worth than i ever seen in horror movies xD
Hi Marko Bolliger. Thanks for swinging by and watching. I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)
Very fun !
I recognize many projections from Atmosfx, but i'm very interested about your vine/creeping plant (3:18)
Homemade animation ?
HI Guillaume Cardon. Thanks for watching. Yes, the growing vines are "homemade". I found a Cinema4D tutorial on UA-cam that showed the general idea, and then I just tweaked it to fit my house model. I was pretty simple, just took a little bit of time rendering. :)
@@ProjectThisHouse Very interesting about your tutorial ! Have you got the link ?
@Guillaume Cardon Sure thing: ua-cam.com/video/sWmHglOTkQ0/v-deo.html&feature=emb_logo
I really loved this years addition of telling a story, when/how did you actually decide to go full out on Halloween with these projections?
Hi Debby. Thanks for watching. I believe it was when I saw the 100th celebration of the bike race Tour De France, where they transformed the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with projection mapping. That got me looking into the technique and gave me the idea to do something similar on my house. :)
ProjectThisHouse oh seriously? That’s awesome! Keep up the great work, I always enjoy your uploads and I’m looking forward to next years craziness 🤪
I'm definitely an AtmosFX user as well. Just projecting lots of their talking figures bur this is a whole wonderful production that is really making me want to get into. I am completely inspired to learn how to program this. My heart races watching this just like when I go to Disneyland and get on my favorite ride the Haunted Mansion. What kind of projector do you use? I did by two better quality projectors for my AtmosFX downloads and they worked well but I know for a house projection I would need at least 3,800 Lumens I do know that. I'm thinking 5,000 Lumens right? Thanks for making me happy and doing what you do!
Heidi
Hi Heidi. Thanks for stopping by and watching. I can tell you love Halloween as much as we do. I use a BenQ MX819ST projector with 3000 lumens. Because it's a "short throw" projector, I can place it closer to my house, so I don't lose too much light intensity. If I used a regular projector, I would have to place it further from the house and would therefore need more lumens to get the same intensity, as light loses power drastically over distance. It's hard to recommend anything without knowing your setup possibilities. :)
ProjectThisHouse thank you so much for responding back to me! I have another question.... do you have to cover anything on the house with projection screen? I swear it looks like you cover your windows with screen. I purchased some light grey shear chiffon off amazon for this year’s projections for my windows and garage. Oh also I have a brick house and don’t think it would be a good foundation for projection. What do you think? I’ll send you a pic of it and please let me know what you think. 🧡
Hi Heidi. Yes, I cover all windows. Both those on the garage door (cardboard) and those on the house (fitted sheets). The brick parts of your house will be a problem is it is dark bricks. We have a foundation in bricks as you can see, but they are somewhat light in color. Still I try to avoid to project anything that moves on those parts. For when I'm using my AtmosFX ghosts, I have made some wooden cut outs, so they can be placed anywhere. I hope that helps. :)
What projector do you use? I have never seen a projector do that but props to you this is very impressive I love how your neighbors come every year to watch good job keep up the good work I liked and subbed
Hi ZhiloFN. Thanks for watching and the kind words. This is done with a consumer BenQ MX819ST projector with 3000 lumens. I found it on eBay for $380, but have seen them even cheaper. Each year the projection takes a bit of time to plan and make, but when the whole neighborhood shows up to watch, it makes it all worth it for sure.
@@ProjectThisHouse Amazing job! I was looking at that projector for my project this year, and was curious how you broadcast the sound. It doesn't appear to have bluetooth connectivity, so do you hard wire it to external speakers?
@@ProjectThisHouse What do you use for the enclosure? Did you build a permanent post or something?
@@kerry3608 Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, replies to posts created by others don't end up in my notifications. I do have my speakers hard wired. I do that primarily for the stability of the connection. as I don't really trust anything wireless, and in this case it's only about 35 feet of cable that's needed. :)
@@tribbleorlfl I only have my projector setup on Halloween Eve, so I don't need an enclosure. :)
This is the first time I have come across this and I am in Awe...how do you do this? Is it a program? This would be so Awesome to use on our pumpkin farm for the Haunted House😍😍😍
Hi Chavez Roy. This is a video I've tailor made to fit the features of my house, that is being projected onto the house. The technique is called Projection Mapping, and you can google that if you're interested in learning how it's done. :)
Wow that’s
Sooooo cool just just wow

this is marvelous! pls make a tutorial! where can i find all of these sub-footages to add it to my project!? i m starting to learn HeavyM in last week and i want to impress my neighborhoods here in a small Greek town with a Christmas project!
Hi S.D. I'm finally starting to plan and record tutorials, but we have Thanksgiving approaching, so I don't know when they'll be ready. I make most of my stuff myself, but get the rest at AtmosFX.com. Thanks for stopping by and watching. :)
Hi @@ProjectThisHouse ! thanx for answering. its difficult for me to find a way to make these textures that you use to make the house of bricks.. the magenta house.. the moving walls.. windows.. doors.. etc. could you please tell me the software that you use for all of that?!
thanks in advance!
@@DarKHumOuR3 Sure thing: I make the textures in Adobe Photoshop and then animate them in either Adobe After Effects - or if it has to be a 3D effect, I use use Cinema 4D. But not everything has to be done in a complicated animation. Sometimes simple effects work just as well. :)
@@ProjectThisHouse thank you very much! so, the final result was a combination of many software! i m telling that because i blow my mind three days now to find a mapping software that has timeline features, like Vegas or After Effects did, to put all the mapped videos (as layers) in time sequence that i like, but i cant find something!
so, i have a lot of work to do..
but..
thanx again for the infos!
@@DarKHumOuR3 for my kind of videos, it would be silly to use a mapping software program. For me, it's much easier to make a 2D map of my house with a paint program (Photoshop) and then use that file in the video editing program (AfterEffects) to create the video. That gives me way more control over the process than trying to line everything up in a mapping software program. But that's just me. :)
That was unbelievable, amazing, fantastic. How did u do that? Im the only house in my neighbourhood in Australia that does Halloween n I would love to do this in 2020
Hi Irene. Thank you for your kind words. This is called "projection mapping", so you can google that, but it is basically using a video projector placed in front of your house, to show a video onto your house. When creating the video, it has been modified to fit the features and shape of your house. That was the short version. :)
When I first saw this in 2019 I was scared to death but now that I’m older I think it’s not as scary
Sorry to have scared you back then, Eduardo The Race Car. :)

Hi Tyler. Thank you for stopping by and watching. Well, most time is spend on getting the idea and then a lot of trial and error. Once I know what will be in it and actually start putting it together, it's pretty quick due to the initial mapping of the house can be reused year after year.
@@ProjectThisHouse well keep it up love it every Halloween and do u every Christmas too or just Halloween?
@@tylergoble9017 Hi Tyler, I only do Halloween because it's just the one night. The setup required would make a Christmas show too much of a hassle to set up and take down every night in the weeks leading up to Christmas. :)
This is awesome! You really should give a tutorial on how to achieve this. I would love to do something of this magnitude on my home. It will be the coolest home in the neighborhood. Thanks for sharing. What was the budget?
Hi JaZzmine. Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I do plan on doing some tutorials in the near future. Budget for this? I've done this some years now, so I already have the equipment needed to make this (computer, software and projector), but the budget for the actual video I project onto the house is only around $40 and that is for the singing ghosts, some of the skeletons and shadow videos that I got at AtmosFX.com. :)
