■ EARLY PROJECTION SCENES

■ For the Ghost House, our first haunt, I wanted a long corridor with a projection at the end. These were various zombie/ghoul effects. The projections didn't appear again until 2019, as I just wanted to focus on learning how to build props and work on the lighting triggers more.

■ The zombie scenes were most effective as they could be left running on a continuous loop.

■ One thing I wished I'd have done is angle the projectors more to hide the "white spot" on the projector. This is a common negative point about using rear projection. For the 2019 haunt, I employed a mirror and mounted the projector high up at an angle which kept it well hidden. 

■ 2016 | MORE WORK WAS NEEDED

■ I knew that projection work was going to be a long drawn out process to get super accurate, so I decided to make 2016 an experiment with the projections.  You need decent angles, and good projectors, with everything optimal to make them work. 

■  If I were to do anything video wise again, I'd just use flat screens with perspex over the front to protect from spills/damage. 

■ All that being said,  they worked just fine, and people were suitably spooked on the night.

■ 2016 | GHOST HOUSE PROJECTION IDEAS
■ Initial ideas were to have rear projection to display a moving logo above the haunt.
