I think this might’ve been how they did the scene in Hook where Peter Pan interacts with his shadow. Also those weird jewelry store commercials from the 90s where the man and woman are embracing. Probably not cgi but I’m thinking more black silhouette cell animation on a white background which they then projected
The Disney ride Rise of the Resistance uses shadow projections in one of the stormtrooper scenes! I have never seen anything like this used in film tho!
That's a very smart use-case. I may be doing something similar however in many cases it won't work because of the obvious fact that it is casting its own light.
Hi James. Nope, our project is called "THE Space Apart" but ive seen there is a shortfilm with almost the same title. But not ours.. We shot ours on Black Magic 4,6K in RAW.
@@RichardTomson i was wondering if you have any budget projector recommendations because when i tried it oit with a £60 projector i just had terrible flicker
I shot rear projection i had a white sheet behind my subject and the other side the projector, and it would flicker, i was only able to hide it by shooting with 1/30 shutter and i had to use moving footage
Ok. I don't know how much basic knowledge you have in filmmaking. But check the fps in the material you show on the projector. And also check what the projector is set to. Pal or ntsc. Then check the camera settings so everything match. If you don't use the same settings it can flicker. If you shoot in 24 fps for film your shutter should always be set in a 180 degree rule. So 24fps is 1/48 shutter. 30fps is 1/60 and so on. Many tutorials on this. I'm not good enough to explain it. I bet you will figure out the issue and get the fx to work.

It's projection mapping. It's used a lot in live events. Disney uses it in theme parks too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_mapping

Cool I didn't know that.
Awesome, can´t wait to try it. Congratulations for the idea and the result.
Great. I would love to see your version of it. 😃👍
Cool effect with the projector 👍🏼
I think it's like a modern version of the 'Nosferatu shadow' using a projector instead light. Good technique!
googled it. cool. havent seen it.
wow this was a smart idea
Neat tricky!!! Great result
Glad you like it. 😃

I purchased a projector just for this reason. still haven't tested it out yet...
Try it out and let me know what you think. Or if you have any questions. 😃👍
Very clever!
Very Kool 🎥
Great work! Did you shoot " A Space Apart" on the BMCC 2.5k.? If so, ProeRes or Raw?
Hi James. Nope, our project is called "THE Space Apart" but ive seen there is a shortfilm with almost the same title. But not ours.. We shot ours on Black Magic 4,6K in RAW.
Which projector do you use?
Ooh..hmm. Benq something. Not anything special.

Flickering? In the camera's material you shoot against the projector?
