This house in southern California has been turned into a cinematic experience for Halloween! Enjoy Ghostbusters all over again, with familiar characters, multiple settings, special effects, and the theme song sung by jack-o-lanterns.
Projection holiday decorations mean that you don't have to risk your neck hanging strings of lights, but getting it to look this good requires some serious programming. This Halloween light display is way more than anything you'll find in a discount store projection kit. The YouTube account is called Seasoned Projections, so I assumed it was a company that you could hire to do this. But no, from the comments it seems like the guy who did it is a projection enthusiast who produced this light show on his own home.
The short version, you draw a map of your house w/ a laptop and a projector. You bring the map file into software (I use Adobe After Effects and Photoshop) and you create various layers and masks based on your mapping. Creativity proceeds from there. You can do almost anything you dream up in Adobe After Effects. Once done, your finished rendered video is played on your house using a suitable bright projector and media player. Thats the quick version!
He directs people to a public Facebook group called Holiday Projection Mapping to learn more about doing this kind of thing yourself. -via reddit
