Holographic projection film test 004 ++

For this experiment, I placed the holographic projection film outside of the pyramid to see the effect. Consequently, it appeared to be the same as when it was placed inside.

Holographic projection film test 004 +

The same exact experiment as the previous test, Holographic projection film test 004, however this time with Munny image. The result was identical as the previous experimentation. 

Once again, I modified my previous sample images (flipped 180°) so it wouldn't be projected up-side-down.

Experiment 001: acrylic pyramid

Experiment 002: acrylic pyramid with holographic projection film ( the film placed inside the pyramid)

Holographic projection film test 004

This time, I constructed a pepper's pyramid with a sheet of acrylic (2mm) with holographic projection film on and placed the ipod on the top of the pyramid.  I also tested the normal acrylic version again for a comparison. In conclusion, the effect appeared to be almost the same with or without the holographic projection film.  

The forward pyramid: acrylic sheet with holographic projection sheet
The back pyramid: acrylic 

As I placed the ipod on the top of the pyramid, I modified my previous sample images (flipped 180°) so it wouldn't be projected up-side-down.

Holographic projection film test 003

For this experiment, I projected the 360 ° images of Munny dolls, which clearly showed the holographic effect.

Holographic film test 001

I projected excerpts from my 2D Munny animation on 3 materials to compared the effects. As a result, the glass with holographic film did give out a tiny holographic effect with this specific animation. In addition, unlike one of my previous Pepper's Ghost experiments with a sheet of glass, , it was visible from 360° angles., when the animation is projected on the holographic projection screen.  

Experiment 001: 
Photo frame glass ( without holographic film) 

Experiment 002: 
White cardboard

Experiment 003:
Photo frame glass ( with holographic film)

Holographic projection screen

I constructed a small holographic projection screen with a sheet of  holographic adhesive film placed on a picture frame glass.

Papper's ghost: Glass test results

Although they seem as though some bad photoshop jobs, those are the "ghost" manny images that I managed to capture in an almost pitch black setting, with a help of tiny amount of light from the LED lamp spotted at the "prop" Munny. 

The ghost can only be seen if viewers stayed in front of it. In other words, if they view it from the sides or look down from higher position,  the ghost would disappear.

Papper's ghost: Glass

For this experiment, I build a set using, a sheet of photo frame glass, LED lamp,black textile and a Munny doll to create another Pepper's ghost illusion.

The sheet of class is placed in front of the Munny doll and the light source is spotted at Munny. The back ground covered with the black textile so the ghost can be seen clearly. 

When the light hits Munny,  it gets reflected on the glass and creates its ghost over the glass.

Pepper's ghost: box

This time,  I chose the traditional box method, which I have covered in my previous post to test Pepper's ghost effect.  

The box (H: 8cm × W: 16cm × D: 8cm) and its lid ( H: 8.3cm × W: 16.3cm × D: 8.3cm) are made out a sheet of white cardboard. I used a sheet of clear acrylic (H: 8cm × W: 11.4 cm × D: 0.2 cm) as a reflector. Inside the box, I placed two architectural scale model figures to create a "prop" (the male figure) and a ghost  (the female figure). As a result, the female ghost appeared around the left shoulder of the male prop.

Pepper's ghost: 360° illusion pyramid test 003

For this experimentation, instead of using the same exact 4 images, I placed front, side and back images of Munny doll to test the complete 360° angle view of the doll.

Pepper's ghost: 360° illusion pyramid

While waiting for the holographic projection screen film to arrive, I run a test based on Pepper's Ghost technique. Out of a few options that I found, I chose the pyramid method to test 360° hologram (faux)  illusion: 


On the bottom of the pyramid, made out of a sheet of OHP transparent film, a 6×6 (cm) white cardboard is placed, and after removing the top parts of the pyramid ( about 9mm each)  a 1×1 (cm) cardboard is placed on the top as dimmer. 

A 2D image, which is consist of 4 exact same skulls, is uploaded in the ipod.  

The pyramid top would be placed in the middle of the 4 images to create 3D holographic-like illusion.

El Zoetropito II

Yuri Endo 2012


After several trial and errors, I finally caught a glimpse of animation through thi second DIY zoetrope. (As its rotation speed was still not stable, I failed to video document it.)  My next step is to finally move on from this analog stage and "digitalize" my previous experimentations.  The whole process and results  will be documented in this blog, and my other 2 blogs; A:NOTES and  B:NOTES.

El Zoetropito II: WIP





Yuri Endo 2012

As my previous zoetrope was too small and the rotation speed was too fast to catch the animation, I have decided to make a larger device with slower rotation speed.
