  • How to make a fake window? Most (if not all) of them aren't like this one. It was an idea I had and I figured out a way to make it happen. This project is not for the meek, but it gives you a a lot of satisfaction in the end.

    This was by far the funniest moment of my week, with the nonchalant attitude and indifference in presentation. I laughed so hard, and yet found out exactly what I needed to do to reproduce a realistic section of our stage set for an upcoming Fall production, by utilizing the window/computer integration. Thank you, Marty :)

    Omg your awesome!! I’ve been trying to find a way to bring some light into my daughters basement bedroom. We moved cross country and she is missing our former home that was on a beach. Though we now have beautiful mountain views I know she is going to go crazy when I turn on her new window that will have the same view of the beach. I’ve had friends from former community film the beach for 24 hours. Her new window will show the beach 25/7 with sunrise and sunsets she misses so much. As a big surprise at 9:30 pm her friends all come to the beach light a campfire and sing along to the guitar like old times. Thank you for this amazing idea.

      That's great. I forgot to mention that you don't have to make a vertical window. You can always make a horizontal one that has a wider scene on it. I'd use a 40-55" TV depending on the size of the wall it's on. Also, that will mean you can play UA-cam videos (or any other normal video) on it without a problem.

    I loved your enthusiasm and striving to do projects that no professional at $100 an hour will actually complete like you or someone like you can. Keep up the good work and videos. I have taken on complex projects that my kids said I shouldn't and ended up working off and on for weeks or months but it is my home and my project. The satisfaction of diy is priceless and not even possible by a pro. BTW those concrete glass countertops are one of a kind and kudos to you for tackling. You are right that even when you pay someone work can be shady and you will have to fix it.

    Another great video. After watching your toilet repair videos I had to watch this one. I love your commentary. And I am sure you understand Murphy's law well. It seems my projects always go more smoothly in my imagination than they do in real life. I always think I have anticipated everything that could go wrong, and then discover how poorly I anticipate how long a project will take, and all the new problems that I uncover after starting.

    Great idea, and inventive with how you set it up, with the power button and it looks like a real window. This is great for people who are stuck in some basement or place that has no windows, and there are places that have no windows.....but this is a great idea to make one feel like it's a window, I like rainy storm videos on youtube, they are 10 hours long and some have country sounds or wind chimes, you name it, there is a storm for you! Then there are also beach videos of the waves and the sun, it's beautiful and relaxing to have on your tv. On your's it would look like you lived on the beach! I like that.

    • @MartyPollio
      @MartyPollio  Місяць тому +1

      They wouldn't play right on my setup because those are shot as horizontal videos. There were probably more practical ways I could have played video on my window, but this is the only way I could figure out to do it at the time. Thanks for watching.

    • @iamyourmuse
      @iamyourmuse Місяць тому

      @@MartyPollio It was great how you set it up, it wasn't a big space and no tv would fit horizontally so I get why you did it that way. Perhaps if you projected from a tablet, and flipped the video like the tv perhaps that would work? I don't know, never tried to cast video onto tv but you can do it from phones and tablets now. Technology...so crazy how much it's changed.
