Morris Costumes ATC0002 AtmosFEARfx Winter Wonderland

Such a great edition to our Christmas party. I put the projector outside, use a frosted shower curtain over the window (secured on the outside), and project a snowy scene into the window. Then I sit in the chair under it and read 34;The Night Before Christmas34; to all the kids. Everyone loved it, and our party is always 50 people. Now a tradition at our house! We project the Halloween zombie scenes at Halloween and the visitors go wild. We had people videoing our house. Buy these. Now.

Great for the Holidays

This ambient DVD was perfect for our office holiday gathering, setting just the right mood. I used the night time scenarios in a low-light setting, making the mood at once both cozy and chilling. We did not use the music setting so I can't comment on that, as I used my own mix of music selections. The available options among day and nighttime scenes, window-paned views and uninhibited views, stylized snow and life-like snow are a nice touch, and the gusts of snow between the landscape changes are great! I only wish it were Blu-ray quality/hi-definition, but as it is, it worked just fine. I projected the images on a blank white wall (using a projection screen was too confining), and combined other swirly light projectors (commonly available in stores today) on either side of the DVD images. The combined effect was a great hit! While the loop of snow scenes only lasts 6 minutes, I think party guests hardly noticed. And while the falling snow, smoke rising from chimneys and moving clouds are all digitally created, they're all very well done, and in no way distract from the grand effect. Furthermore, the great thing about this ambient DVD is that in all the scenes, the 34;camera34; sits perfectly _still_, with no panning or zooming in or out. This means that projection on a large surface (like a wall) has a much more natural effect. (Many other ambient DVDs are unusable in such a setting because when the camera pans or zooms, it gives the effect of the whole room spinning or being pulled into a time warp!) NOTE: I used a stand-alone portable DVD player as the source for playing. Computer DVD drives can be quirky, so I recommend the former if you want a smooth projection. I was able to connect my Sony portable Blu-ray player via an HDMI cable to the venue's existing projection system. Worked great!

Fun way for the lazier decorators such as myself to show some Christmas spirit and still look great!

It's okay it now what I thought it would be.

Now it can be Christmas everyday! Awesome on a projector.
