    So, I have been tasked with making our iconic charecter apear and disapear and be a real like ghost throughout an amusement park. After watching tons of projection videos this made it super simple and cost effective. To create one sighting. Awsome

    It looks great in your video, how big of a factor is the viewing angle? For example, would people see a double image from the both the tablet and the reflection?

    • @nikkalcaraz
      @nikkalcaraz  Před 2 lety +1

      I would say the best way to view it is if you place it at or above eye level in a corner. Viewing from the side and top breaks the illusion.

  • @1976SammyJ

    Awesome job! Can this illusion and materials work with a larger crystal ball 🔮?? I saw a 12” globe terrarium that would look cool, but wasn’t sure if the effect could be done at that size using the acetate you listed. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

    • @nikkalcaraz
      @nikkalcaraz  Před rokem +1

      Hi! It can be done with a larger globe. However, the size of the screen may have to change. You can use a bigger iPad, a laptop screen, or maybe an old tv. You just have to experiment with the size of the screen.

    When you recorded yourself did you have a black backdrop? Great idea BTW 💡 👍🏻

      Thanks! Yes! It’s just a black fabric. I also used black fabric to cover my neck.

    You mentioned you recorded your self and uploaded it to your iPad- did you record from say a iPhone?

    • @nikkalcaraz
      @nikkalcaraz  Před rokem +2

      I actually recorded this with a camera. I think you can just record it straight from the iPad if you’d like. I just wanted a better quality image.

  • @kikismeditationservice

    How dark does it have to be to pick up the acetate? Mine isn’t picking up any reflection?

    • @nikkalcaraz
      @nikkalcaraz  Před rokem +1

      The back should be super black. If the soot is too difficult, you can also use acrylic paint. Also, make sure your acetate is at the correct angle. 45 degrees

      It’s either the degree that you angle it or you’re not in a dark enough room. It’s supposed to be at a 45 degree angle.
