Halloween Pumpkin Projections
Halloween has never been so easy! With a setup this simple and cheap to display, your house will be the coolest on the block with these awesome Halloween pumpkin face projectors! Stay tuned to find out how to download, set up, and make sure these animations make your house even spookier this year!
Supplies
Firstly, to begin this spooky project, we must gather the materials required for the display.
Here is a short list of the required items you need to create this spectacular display:
- A projector above 1600 lumens, and a USB port (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CGSGB3R?linkCode=sl1&tag=thehookup00-20&linkId=d4621b422f1bcc7f803596140abf38f7&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&th=1) - This projector works the best for the cheapest price :)
- Any animation you would like to play (https://www.thesingingpumpkin.com/) - On this website, you can get cheap song animations for your haunt this year!
- A projector stand/tripod (usually comes with projector)
- Speakers with an audio plug
- A USB to transfer the MP4 files to your projector
- And... of course, 3 pumpkins! (Preferably two small ones and one big one)
Now you are ready to start your animations!
Find a Suitable Location to Set Up Your Animations
Firstly, you must find a suitable location for your projection. A rocky or hill-like terrace is the way to go. This can be easily made into a scene, with lots of additives to make the scene cooler and to make sure the projector is hidden from sight.
Once you have your projector plugged in (preferably place the pumpkin projector near an outlet), turn it on and face it against a flat wall so you are able to navigate through the menu without any hassle. Then, place your pumpkins somewhere of your choice (large one in the middle, small ones on the outside).
Download Your Animations
Now you have your suitable location, grab your USB stick and animations and place the .MP4 files into the USB. Once you have your desired animations ready on the USB, insert them into your projector through the USB port.
Once you have the animations in the projector, navigate from the projector menu (flat on the wall so you can see it) to the USB menu and make sure to click the animation inside the menu. When you buy your animations, they will come embedded in an email within 48 hours of your purchase.
Create a Scene!
Once the animation begins to play, position the projector facing the pumpkins you have set up and adjust the height at which you place the projector, and the positioning of the pumpkins to get the perfect ratio.
You may need to adjust the focus on your projector to get HD images of the pumpkin faces. Add some extra decor, like lights, leaves, and maybe even some little tombstones around the pumpkins, just like in the photo to jazz up their performance, just like countless others have done!
If you need, attach some speakers to amplify the sound to create a bigger effect!
Final Product!
Happy Halloween! I hope you enjoyed this and found it easy to follow :)
Your house has now been officially upgraded to the coolest house on the block.
