How To Use A Projector In Your Christmas Light Show | Virtual Santa

- Add an extra layer of fun to your Christmas, Halloween, or holiday display by adding a holographic holiday scene to your light show by using a projector. Projecting a virtual Santa, a movie scene, dancing elves, gingerbread men, ghosts, or whatever holiday scene you'd like makes for a fun time for your audience. I add extra scenes and fun movie clips to my show by utilizing the projector's thumb drive. I thought I would show you how I have my projector set up for my Christmas light show.
I use the Total Home FX Holiday Projector for my show. If you'd like the same one I use, here ya go:

Welcome to the cool kids club Glen!
To be faaaiiirrr...
I love mechanical Christmas stuff like this.
I'm amazed at what these projectors can do for holiday displays.
First! That was really interesting to see how you have the projector set up. Thank you for showing that.📽🎄👍
It's a simple way to add an extra element to your show.
This is an awesome build and I can appreciate what goes into this.
Thank ya much, Steve. I don't at all mind the Santa house. It's much easier to build and take down when compared to the trees. The trees are what kills the fun for me. 4 days each to decorate and 2 days for take down.
That's nice. I like it.
Lol. Well played, WnW.
I guess I am never to old to learn. Thank you for sharing love all your work👍
Thank ya kindly, Margie. There is an entire genre of Christmas Light decorators that only use projectors. That's my plan for decorating in my 80's!
Wow that is so cool. Loving it
Hey there, Kayleena. This prop gets me more compliments than anything else. The little kids really like this one.
One of my favorite things about your display. I have thought about building a CREWland workshop for a few years now. Who knows? Maybe one of these years I will actually do it.
It's decently easy to do once you do it once. It goes up and comes down without issue. That would be cool to see you do!
Enjoyed the video.
Thank ya much, Scott. 👍
I hadn't thought about ironing being a part of a Christmas show lol
I'm diverse lol
Need to do whole house projection! I don't have nearly as many lights as you do but take down was no fun at all this year.
I thought the exact same thing, Scott! Once I hit 65, I'm thinking of switching to projection mapping. It's the same amount of programming but take down last all of 3 hrs. I have 20 years to plan for it.
Yes
This is verry good, I think I might want to set one up in my window.
@@jamesioffe They are quite handy for quick decorations. You can use them for any holiday.
👍🎄💯
Thank ya much, WC!
🎄
👍🎅
Awesome #kiwichristmas
Why thank ya much, Jane. Looks like you too are a fan of Karl.
Hi! Love this! I’m trying to do something similar but projected into windows! Where do you get your animation files from? Thanks!
I've made most of them. I'd be happy to share a few scenes with you if you are in need. You can email me at ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com
@@ChristmasOnCrestline hi I just emailed you asking for some of your video files
Love the Santa eating cookies video at the end but I can't seem to find it off of the FX website. :(
Hello Jessica, email me at ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com and I'll email it to you this weekend.
This is absolutely amazing! I’m trying to do A Christmas Story theme this year (no idea as to how to pull it together) and would LOVE to do this! Where do you get the videos? How do you get the videos to be backwards? Thank you!
Hey there, Tamika. Email me at ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com and I'll send you my projection files. Good call on them being backwards. Most folks don't realize that is a necessity for your audience to see the images correctly. To project them backwards is just a setting your projector will have on its Settings Page.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline Thank you!!!!!
@@ChristmasOnCrestline email sent! Thanks so much!
I sent you an email asking for copies of you scenes
@@anthonydavis7688 I got you, Anthony.
How far from the screen does the projector need to be? Thanks for all the helpful info.!
Hey there, Sally. I haven't put mine up yet but, if memory serves, I have it six feet away. You can find the exact distance for your projector here: www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator-pro.cfm
Thank you so much!! @@ChristmasOnCrestline
you mention adding little clips of movies. How do i go about that. thank you
Hey there, Samantha. To accomplish this, you will need some sort of video editing software and screen recorder. I use a program called PowerDirector by Cyberlink for all of my editing needs. It comes with a screen recorder and editing tools. So, it satisfies my editing needs. Simply screen record the bit you need (FYI, Netflix can only be screen recorded via the Firefox Browser) and then edit it in your software. Then upload that video onto a thumb drive or SD card, whichever your projector needs and voila, you have a movie clip being projected through your window! I hope this helps a bit!
Hello, I’m from France and I don’t speak English very well, but I have a question, where Can I find some Christmas scene or movie clip like you show in your video? Thank you for your help :)
Bonjour, Laura. C'est formidable d'entendre quelqu'un de France! Je reçois beaucoup de mes scènes de FX Total Home Decor à totalhomedecor.com/product-category/fx/video-decor/christmas/ Vous pouvez également m'envoyer un e-mail à ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com et je vais vous en envoyer ainsi que.
Hello, Laura. It's great to hear from someone from France! I get a lot of my scenes from FX Total Home Decor at totalhomedecor.com/product-category/fx/video-decor/christmas/ You can also email me at ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com and I get send you some as well.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline Hello, thank you so much for your reply in French and in English ! it’s more easier for me to read than to listen someone speak in English if I didn’t have subtitles because sometimes it’s too fast. This website is cool, thank you for your help. I have some questions about how to use a projector like in your video, I need to think about it. Then, if it’s possible, can I ask you some of those questions? Have a good sunday! (sorry for my potential mistakes in english)
@@P.lauraa there were zero flaws, Laura. You wrote perfect English. I simply write it out then use a translation tool. Please, ask whatever questions you'd like. I'm here to help! You can also reach me at ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com too.
@Laura P il n'y avait aucun défaut, Laura. Vous avez écrit un anglais parfait. Je l'écris simplement puis j'utilise un outil de traduction. S'il vous plaît, posez les questions que vous souhaitez. Je suis là pour vous aider! Vous pouvez également me joindre à ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com.
Do this projector have sound or can I have a Bluetooth speaker to help with the sound
Hello there, Anthony. It does indeed have sound. However it is really low and the internal speaker is not all that great quality, in my opinion. This model does not offer a Bluetooth option. This device is geared more towards visual and less on audio it seems. This is fine for what we need it for as we only use it in our Santa's workshop when we have the light show up.
Your video looks like it is shot vertically and it fills the entire window. Mine does not. I flipped the video to portrait mode using software, but it still looks like it is in landscape mode only flipped. Any advice? Thank you!
Great question, Sally. The key is to actual have the projector mounted on its side. Then you play your vertical files. This simply allows for the video file to be played at a 9 X 16 format.
we have the same projector, but we don't know how to get it to play vertical and across our 3 vertical windows, can you help us?
Hey there, Sandra. Yes, I can certainly help you. The trick is that you must show vertically inclined videos. If you'd like to email me, (ChristmasOnCrestline@gmail.com) I can send you my vertical videos. You can simply copy them over to your thumb drive and show them. The downside is my videos are set up for one window and not three.
I am looking for quality C9 and C7 Incandescent replacement light bulbs. Do you have a recommendation for a company online? Or a couple/few you recommend?
I do, Sean. The annual Pre-Sales will be kicking off in just a couple of weeks. Creative Displays is starting theirs on Jan 25th. They'll be 40% off. A few of these companies do retail grade in addition to commercial but here are some of the weblinks to other commercial-grade companies.

Thank you! I will be keeping an eye out for this!
@@ChristmasOnCrestline You were the first Christmas Light channel that responded to my inquiry. Thank you!
My pleasure, Sean. Anytime.
They really add a layer of entertainment to displays.
How do you hide the bright projection light circle you can see as a viewer?
That is a great question, Jamie. You can do that one of two ways. You can install it up top and angle it down so the bulb isn't seen or you can install it on the ground, below the bottom window level, and angle it up. You are correct though and a straight view will likely show the bulb's circle to anyone standing directly in front of it.
@@ChristmasOnCrestline Awesome! I will try that. Thank you!!
