So, there you have it! There are some resources links for equipment (projectors, media players, speakers) to help you get started in the "Tutorial" section of our website as well. You don't want to have to press play over and over again all night!Ħ) Because the Jack-o-Lantern faces in our Singing Pumpkins Effects start and end in the same postions on EVERY video, the animations can be played back to back and will seamlessly transition from one animation to the next! Our 3-minute "Intermission" is a GREAT way to break up the songs or to give your show a rest for a few minutes. The surrounding lights (2 porch lights, actually) are all fully on!ĥ) Set the media player you are playing the animations with to loop continuously. However, too much light can drown out the projected image and make the effect not as bright.Ĥ) For reference, in our videos, we are using an old NEC HT-410 projector. Whatever you build, make sure the projector has enough ventilation so it doesn't overheat and shut off in the middle of a show.ģ) Try to have a little bit of ambient light around your display, as that will help hide any projector overcast that may show up. The way you hide your projector should go along with the theme of your display.Ģ) You will need to build a hiding place for your video projector and other equipment. Many people set their pumpkins on a crate, or tombstone, or bale of straw. You may find you have to move your projector around to get the placement just right.ħ) That's IT! Sit back and watch the show!ġ) The theme of your set-up is up to you. Fine-tune the placement of the faces so they are centered on the pumpkins. Try to avoid having the projector shooting at too much of an angle, or else the images will distort or move off the pumpkins and ruin the effect.Ĥ) Plug in all your equipment as per manufacturers recomendations.ĥ) Place the speakers near the pumpkins so the music sounds like it's coming from them.Ħ) Load the animations onto your media player/computer/DVD player and press "PLAY". Make sure it is shooting straight on and as close to the same level as the pumpkins are. We suggest placing the pumpkins about waist high, so as to be more visible.ģ) Next, place the video projector about 4'-6' away (your results may vary) from the pumpkins. Make it close enough for people to see, but out of the traffic flow.Ģ) Place the pumpkins in a row, on a flat surface, with the large one in the center and each of the two smaller pumpkins on either side of the large one. A likely place is somewhere it's going to be most visible, but not cause a traffic jam to see the rest of your display. The following is from the "Tutorial" section of our website.įirst, let's talk about how to set things up.ġ) First you have to decide WHERE you are going to set up your display.
