My main complaint is that my windows are side-by-side, so there is a 4-5" solid piece in the middle. It kind of messes up 'the eye' video.

I think I will use a slightly higher threadcount sheet, and put the projector lower and shoot at an angle. The way my test was, you could see the projector in the background. That takes away from the experience.

My window has a solid piece but it's only 3 inches or so.  I was worried about that.

This may be a stupid question but could you see the projector or the light?  I had all the lights off in the room I was using and didn't have any issues seeing either.  No idea what thread count the sheet has but it was a bargain buy so I can't think it's that high.

shardian:
I could see the projector big time. That is why I will use keystone correction and shoot from the floor at an angle.


I also ripped the video and trimmed it. The vid ended up looking just fine, but the sound is absolutely horrible. If I do use it, the sound has to go.

shardian:
So... how did everyone's window go? We need a roll call of who did it, or who will be doing it tonight.

Mine went absolutely friggin awesome! In the second hour of trick or treating, we had people driving by from other neighborhoods to see it. In the end I used a 250 thread count sheet, which worked absolutely great.

Once the trick-or-treaters dried up at around 7:30, I popped in Monster house for all the neighborhood kids and served popcorn and hot chocolate. The window frame surprisingly didn't bother me too much for normal movie viewing. I think I will use this setup when spring/summer comes for starlite movie screenings. Rear projection from inside is much less of a hassle than front projection on my hillside lot.

So they had the kids go around last night instead of tonight?  Seems a little odd since tonight is Friday and most/all of the kids don't have school tomorrow.

Glad it went well though.   :applaud:

I think the local governments moved it to Thursday because they were afraid of kids being out walking on a Friday halloween - drunk drivers and all you know.

It was always a Tuesday or Thursday when I was a kid - never a Friday.
