    I suppose the reason we associate projections of light and things that are almost, but not quite there with ghosts is because that's what we imagine ghosts as, people who aren't quite there, people who appear almost entirely correctly, but are just appearances of light with varying levels of influence on the physical world depending on who you ask.
    Anyway, speculation aside, great video. I really liked this quality work.

    Well, the words "phantom" and "specter" both originate from root words meaning "appearance" and "image." The mysterious power light has to reveal that which is unseen is a fundamental essence of human experience.

  • @Asocial-Canine
    @Asocial-Canine ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually very chuffed with myself for guessing how they did the effect before you revealed it (at least the "seperately rendered and superimposed" part). I took a look at it, and thought "huh, that kinda feels like something greenscreened onto film".
    I feel like that general old horror-movie vibe was more likely the direct influence on the devs. I even think that could explain why the ghost's render pass is at half resolution, to give the feeling of something that doesn't exist in the shot being inserted jarringly into it.
    Anyway, wow! great video! A lot of nice, tasteful editing to demonstrate what you're talking about. I'll be subbed for if you ever return!

    What an amazing and underrated channel!! So interesting to see how ghosts are done in Luigi's Mansion, I just assumed they were a transparent model but this makes MUCH more sense and indeed explains how they look so.. otherwordly. I can almost certainly tell ghosts in the sequel's are just transparent models though, which is a shame.

    • @KnightOwl_Art
      @KnightOwl_Art  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh yeah! I feel like the ghosts in Luigi’s Mansion 3 might use a similar technique, at least when they’re not all glowey. But the ones in Dark Moon and the 3ds remake of 1 are just transparent, probably because of the 3ds’s limited capabilities.
