While I see your spooky wall, I want to hear your crow fly through the scene! I guess the next level up would be animating the tree, moss, vines to blow in the wind!

Yes! Projection mapping isn't a new thing but it's becoming more accessible with a few companies offering out of the box kits. Glad you are showing ways to make your own scenes to work with the existing elements like doors and windows. It really makes a difference in the quality of the projection display when there is a level of interaction with the thing being projected on.

Oh my God... this idea to us the projector and your house as a canvas to make a custom-made projection-image is so clever... why didn't I came up with this idea by myself?!? Thanks for this AWSOME inspiration. I am very skilled with Photoshop and After Effects, so I will make an animated projection in that way. Thanks again for all your tips and tricks. And Happy Halloween :-)

I have a killer suggestion for an idea I don't think anybody has ever done that I've seen. Can you guys make a spooky Jacob Marley outdoor decoration for spooky Christmas themes? He's the ghost in the story "A Christmas Carol" which is a ghost story. I want to do a spooky christmas setup this year as my Halloween hangover last 10 months a year but have no idea how to create this. Thanks!
