Made a video showing a more in depth look at the infinity illusion I made for the rear of the hearse. It was built with materials bought at HomeDepot except for the skulls and lanterns of course. Let me know what you think!
That’s remarkable - I came up with this idea a few days ago, using some very good quality skulls to create an endless crypt passage, been drawing it up and planning it, and I googled endless hallway and found this video! I love how us haunters are both individual and similar in our creative mindsets. This is helpful, thanks!
This illusion box is amazing. I just finished building one based on this video! I wish I could post a photo of it but it came out amazing. If you're ever in Portland it's on display in an oddity museum called The Skeleton Key Odditorium and we gave your channel credit as inspiration. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for the video this was the first prop I ever built for my haunted house and ever since Ive been obsessed with them there not enough tutorials out there and while this isn’t necessarily a tutorial the right person will gather all they need from this video and there should be a billion tutorials of these but it’s becoming a lost art
Thank you for the amazing video. Would it be possible to create a version for selfies? What kind of modification I have to do so you can take a selfie in this mirror. Thank you again!
This is the best tutorial video on this I've seen on this yet. There's not a whole lot out there! Between your video and reading through the comments, you've answered a lot of questions I had about this, so thank you! I'm making an endless hallway this year and my pieces of plexiglass are 32x72. I'm incredibly nervous about this. Wish me luck!
This is incredible!! Love it!! I’m going to make one this year. Can you please tell me what type of lights you used and what type of 2-way mirror film you used? Thx you for the inspiration!!!
Thanks! in both cases I have the tint on the inside for both the front and back I did this to protect the tint itself from getting scratched and things like that
Im using the fire and ice LED spot lights that they sell at all of the store now it does reflect off the mirrors but it just gets bounced around as light so you dont notice at all really
I'm using one of those fire and ice lights they sell at spirit halloween and home depot except instead of red and orange this one is green and orange gives it a really cool eerie effect!
the plexi glass is screwed onto the wood along the edges be sure to predrill the plexi so it doesnt crack. the front piece is taped on along the edges so i can easily remove it to arrange the pieces inside.
Great work mate! So let me get this right 2sheets of plexi glass, each covered with gila privacy mirror film The back plexi mirror you spray painted black The front plexi you just left as just having gila privacy mirror film? Im trying to do this with Huge glass door panels going to try and make a hallway out of this, any advice would help a ton.
That "warp field" effect at 4:17 ... maybe if you distort the front mirror deliberately with hidden servos, you can create some kind of nauseating space warp effect.
+Eerie Acres Cemetery. Thank you. Several people in our haunter group are interested in making one of these Illusions. This will give us the opportunity to help on the budget thank you again.
HI this was one of those old fire and ice lights they used to sell at homedepot and lowes with the swirling effect this one just happened to be two shades of green swirling around instead of yellow and orange
I used regular plexiglass and GILLA mirrow window tint all of which I got from homedepot, the only thing here I didnt get from homedepot was the skulls!
exactly so in this case the two reflective sides are facing each other. I painted the back of the rear one black to make it a true mirror and left the front alone so it acts like a 2 way mirror
oh for sure you could do a hallway might a little pricey getting and or making mirrors that large a more cost effective solution would be to make a crack/hole in a wall with an infinite section in it that people could walk behind and realize the space doesnt make sense! I wanted to do that with a mausoleum but didnt get the chance to
This is great and we are working on one now. I was wondering how you ended up doing the lighting, we are having a tough time with that. Thanks for the great video!
In regards to the people that said plexiglass wouldn't work, the plexiglass might decrease the number of "mirrored layers" depending on the thickness and pigmentation. This usually happens when the distance between the one way mirror and the tinted/2 way mirror are close together, like a picture frame. I have tested those narrow designs with different pigmentations/distance between panels and the worst case scenario was the mirrored copy faded gradually towards the middle of the field of view. When working on these narrow projects the 2 layers are much closer together. I dont think it applies to what you are doing. Since your repeating image has a ton of depth.
I love your videos. What is your email so I can get more information on how to create this? I would love to start working on it now for Halloween 2019!
Instead of a Hearse, I think it could be scaled down to an "Open Crypt" kind of thing. Simple carved styrofoam with an ornate carved window on the front that reveals the illusion of the skulls n bones inside. Great work! So your box contains 16 skulls, the bones and two lanterns? Dollar store has $5 lanterns that would be great for this project.
This is way too cool. I'm definitely thinking about making one for next year. Did you buy or make the wagon wheels for the hearse? Keep up the good work. Your stuff is amazing.
This is SO cool! I bought all of the stuff to make it from Home Depot, except the paint for the back mirror - did you paint the back of the mirror black, or silver? Thanks so much for sharing your genius idea!
SoooooHow did you make it? I see that there is a mirror in the back I see that you have the objects on the side what does the front one have? Is the front want to a mirror? How did you get that green tint to everything? I noticed when she pulled the glass off the green tint went away
it has two mirrors facing each other made out of plexifglass and mirror window tint. the green tint is coming from the green lights shinning down into the box.
hey ant! love everything your doing this year as usual. not sure if you know this i live extremely close to you. i know your super busy but i was wondering if you could help me out with an arduino i have and accuator... i will pay you for your time if we could meet up for an hour or so to talk it out. let me know. thanks
Awesome where do you live??? I would be more than glad to lend a hand with your arduino and accuator what is the problem you are having with it? I can meet up sometime and land hand
