You talk about how when one projection is done the other starts. How are the two projectors "talking" to each other to know when to start and stop? Very nice!
Hey Brent! Great question. I pulled the downloaded scenes from each decoration and I plugged them into Adobe Premiere. I created a movie for each projections and created gaps in each movie using the ambient scenes that I talked about so that the decorations do not overlap each other. That way, when one is playing an active scene, the other is playing an ambient scene and vice versa for 18 minutes. Make sense? Thanks for watching!
Gotcha! You just start both media sources at the same time and by the way you designed each file it makes it seem like they are communicating with each other but really it is just a timing thing, right? :) Very nice!
Love how it's not "too busy". Too many haunts go way overboard with so much going on and I find that can take away the spookiness a bit. This is tasteful and really showcases the technology. Great job!

I like what you did with your outdoor projector, concealing it inside a weather-resistant box with a lock. You must be front projecting right onto the pumpkins themselves, so it must have been quite a task to get the height and distance and spacing just right for the projector/pumpkins. Also I noticed you went with some ground lighting behind the pumpkins to make them stand out more. Well done!
Awesome, I just got my AtmosFX kit the other day and just started using it for the window, going to try it in a doorway soon or outside to show off ghost in mid air
Thanks for watching and best of luck with your set-up. Be sure to check out my new DIY channel for more digital decorating tips and tricks! ua-cam.com/channels/WIv-rmsyntD4QS3JL7f_lg.html
Awesome! Loved this set up a lot. I'm hoping to do the same this year for the kiddos. I love that the pumpkins 🎃 and witch are not so scary. I've seen the zombies and ghost and I think that's a little to scary for little ones.

Hey Leo! Thanks for watching. I do close the plexiglass door during the projection and it does not cause any reflection. I actually made some improvements to it and made the plexiglass stationary. Check it out - ua-cam.com/video/zjAzCv1Uz7I/v-deo.html
How would the people in their cars hear the sound would they have to turn it to a specific station and do people actually stop their cars in front ur house to watch the projections?
Hey Lucas, thanks for watching! Yes and yes. People tune into 103.1fm on their radio to hear the decorations and they do stop in front of the house to watch from their cars.

Hey h0tp00lman, thanks for watching. The projection material is placed on the inside of the window and cut to the size of each pane so that is sits flush against the glass so as not to create any ghosting or a double image.
I'm doing the singing pumpkins, singing bust from the haunted mansion some wall scenes rising ghost and the creepy craw lies spiders and a few phantasm scenes a projection of the haunted pianist from the haunted mansion. I am doing a little area of my haunt were I have a nightmare before Christmas scene so I'm going to have my singing pumpkins sing scary scary Christmas the one from HMH. Your set of is really nice cannot wait to see Halloween 2017 setup. Yeah I use an aaxa p-3x 75 lumen projector for my pumpkins and it works really well actually!
Hey and thanks for watching! I'm currently deep in the throws of building props for my 2017 set-up and trying to get this new DIY youtube page off the ground. Looking forward to seeing your set-up as well!

Omg this is awesome, I wanna do this...where can I go to learn how to do this, to get started...been wanting to do the window thing but not sure what I need and how to set it up.
Can u make a video of how u did the ambient settings and the whole clips of the scenes so they run together. I seen u answered it but would love to see the steps you took. Thanks
Thank you! I am going to be making a video about the grave-marker housing this week on my new channel so subscribe and stay tuned! ua-cam.com/channels/WIv-rmsyntD4QS3JL7f_lg.html
great video - best setup, not too much going on which is why i really like it - I've a question on the timing. I saw the response below. One more question, how long approx. is each movie you created and on the pico projector is it playing using USB storage ? how large is the file approx ? Thanks
Thanks for watching! Each video is the same length, right at 18 minutes. The Aaxa p4 has a micro sd slot that I used to play the video. I believe the size is close to 2gb.

What if someone steals the DIY gravestone with the proyector inside? is it attached to the ground? Great setting, but I am not planning to watch over something like this all day long!!
Love your setup and explanation, great inspiration for my first setup this year...thanks for sharing! Quick question, what did you use for the blue/green lighting behind the pumpkins?
Hey Nathan! Thank you for watching. I used the blue/green fire and ice lights from Spirit Halloween. Also, be sure to subscribe to my new channel for future Haunt updates and inspiration - ua-cam.com/channels/WIv-rmsyntD4QS3JL7f_lg.html

im so confused how you did the sequence. lol...I couldn't get logic..sorry...so when the witch was done, the pumpkins was still off or they were on stand by?..im trying to do it this year as well..

Hi - I saw you were recognized by "Freak of the Week"! Nice job! I was wondering if you made your pumpkin pedestals or where you found them if you purchased them? Thanks!
Hey Gayle! Thank you for watching. I purchased the pedestals for the pumpkins at At Home in their garden/fake plants section. I was about to give up my search but just got really lucky when I happened upon them. The best part is that they were only $14 a piece.

Maybe you can use the buffer files for the pumpkins to stop and then they can continue.
Great job, and I think you did an awesome job! I just started this project, so I don't think I will get it time for Halloween. Dang it.
Thank you! Best of luck on your set-up!
So FUN!!
Thanks for watching!
I love your projector housing. I wonder, do you close the plexiglass door during the projection? I'd think it would reflect back into the housing.
Hey Leo! Thanks for watching. I do close the plexiglass door during the projection and it does not cause any reflection. I actually made some improvements to it and made the plexiglass stationary. Check it out - ua-cam.com/video/zjAzCv1Uz7I/v-deo.html

Did you put the projector material in the outside of the window? Or is it all cut to fit each window pane?

What do you use for projector ventilation?
Do you build and sell the projector box?
How many lumens does your projector on jack o lanterns have?
Ty
The Aaxa P4-X has 175 lumens. This might not sound like much but its plenty for this particular projection.
