Movie magic with only a projector is still used in big movies. Rear projection or front projection, kind of the same effect. Depends on filming setup. We made a sci-fi series inspired by old 80s movies with practical effects, animatronic aliens and minature UFO models. We used a projector to make the alien to cast a shadow on set for the camera to pick up as a practical fx.

It's projection mapping. It's used a lot in live events. Disney uses it in theme parks too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_mapping

Awesome, can´t wait to try it. Congratulations for the idea and the result.

The Disney ride Rise of the Resistance uses shadow projections in one of the stormtrooper scenes! I have never seen anything like this used in film tho!

@RichardTomson Год назад

Cool I didn't know that.

I think it's like a modern version of the 'Nosferatu shadow' using a projector instead light. Good technique!

Great work! Did you shoot " A Space Apart" on the BMCC 2.5k.? If so, ProeRes or Raw?

@RichardTomson 3 года назад

Hi James. Nope, our project is called "THE Space Apart" but ive seen there is a shortfilm with almost the same title. But not ours.. We shot ours on Black Magic 4,6K in RAW.

I purchased a projector just for this reason. still haven't tested it out yet...

@RichardTomson 3 года назад

Try it out and let me know what you think. Or if you have any questions. 😃👍

@frasertomsfilm 8 месяцев назад

That's a very smart use-case. I may be doing something similar however in many cases it won't work because of the obvious fact that it is casting its own light.

@rhysseddon7279 Год назад

Which projector do you use?

@RichardTomson Год назад

Ooh..hmm. Benq something. Not anything special.

@rhysseddon7279 Год назад

@@RichardTomson i was wondering if you have any budget projector recommendations because when i tried it oit with a £60 projector i just had terrible flicker

@RichardTomson Год назад

Flickering? In the camera's material you shoot against the projector?

@rhysseddon7279 Год назад

I shot rear projection i had a white sheet behind my subject and the other side the projector, and it would flicker, i was only able to hide it by shooting with 1/30 shutter and i had to use moving footage

@RichardTomson Год назад

Ok. I don't know how much basic knowledge you have in filmmaking. But check the fps in the material you show on the projector. And also check what the projector is set to. Pal or ntsc. Then check the camera settings so everything match. If you don't use the same settings it can flicker. If you shoot in 24 fps for film your shutter should always be set in a 180 degree rule. So 24fps is 1/48 shutter. 30fps is 1/60 and so on. Many tutorials on this. I'm not good enough to explain it. I bet you will figure out the issue and get the fx to work.
