![]() ![]() The opaque shower curtain reduced the brightness a little more that I liked, so a slight advantage goes to the Bed sheet here.Ĭolor: The bed sheet produced better colors ,but again, sometimes to bright. Some of the lighter colors became washed out. Here are my comparisons for all its worth īrightness: The Bed Sheet was much brighter than the Shower Curtain, but almost too bright. I have now experimented with two inexpensive options white opaque shower curtain, bed sheet ( 500 thread count). If you know of any other great holiday loops that I have missed, please add them to the comments as I'm always on the lookout for great videos to add to our projection library.I have been in search of a good rear projection screen that wont break the bank but yet has a good enough quality that I can live with. We have paired our ipad to a bluetooth speaker so that we can even have sound outside for some of these (really good with the Halloween videos). We also use this setup for 4th of July, New Years, parties, etc. Youtube - Same thing as noted above, search youtube for "Holiday Loop" or "Christmas Loop" and you will find some really nice videos that can be used for customized messages.Hallowindow - These guys also offer a few holiday themed videos, I don't own any of them, but they look nice.Seem to have a few different santa themes. I don't have these (they looked a little too computer generated for my liking, but they do still look nice). AtmosCHEERfx - The same guys who do the AtmosFEARfx have some holiday themed videos too.Santa At My Window - Another santa loop, cheesier than the one above, but I actually used this one more (the one above ended up feeling more like a doddering old man roaming around my house than santa, but to each their own).Clause too (I don't have that one, I only have the main one of santa). They have a few different videos available of santa wandering around your house and unpacking presents, eating cookies, etc. Youtube - If you search youtube for things like "Halloween Loop", you can find some really nice videos that people have created, and with simple youtube rippers and video editors, you can then customize and personalize the videos for your needs (we have added "Happy Halloween from ENTER YOUR BUSINESS NAME HERE" type messages with these.Hallowindow - Another site that sells halloween loops, they are nice (I like the atmosfearfx ones better, but these are cheaper and they have some nice ones still).He does sell some of his videos, but he has most of them for free, so it's worth taking a minute to register to download his great videos (he did a great job on many of them, the lab one is a great one from his site to check out). This site has lots of free high quality halloween loops (including the slimer one from my video), all you have to do is register with the site for free. AtmosFEARfx - These are not free, but they are high quality and they have lots of different videos to choose from to suit a wide range of tastes (from family friendly to scary/gory).I will list a few of the ones that we have found that work out great for us: There are lots of videos available, and many of them are even free. I was ok with this since I wanted it to be a bit bigger, and most of the action on the loops happens in the center of the screen.Īs we mentioned, we use this for lots of different holidays (at our home and at a business). Since the projector is wide screen (16:9) ratio, I have just centered the projection in the middle of the window, with overlap occurring on the right and left of the screen. If we needed, we could put objects like books etc under the projector to reach the desired position, but in our house this works fine. We have our projector sitting on a step ladder across the room, and it is just about perfect. A computer with a media player works great too. It works ok (it just loops a single video over and over, I wish you could set a play list to loop since we have more than one video, but I got around that by making a single video file of all of our loops, so I play that over and over again with the ipad). We just have the projector hooked up to our ipad, and we use an app called LoopVideoPlayer (. As you can see in the video, our neighbor has their porch light on, and the screen is still very visible. But that being said, even with our toy projector, the effect is great. ![]() The brighter your lamp, usually the better your picture in even lit rooms (our room has to be pretty dark for the best results). It is only 200 lumen (that is how bright the lamp is). We just have a cheap LED projector that is made for iphones and video games. ![]()
