Just had the idea to do something similar to this as a "book" nook for my DVD shelf. Happened across this, good to have a preview of how it could look haha
Thank you for the amazing video. Would it be possible to create a version for selfies? What kind of modification I have to do so you can take a selfie in this mirror. Thank you again!
Thanks. Though not the most expensive or technically challenging prop, the bottomless well has been the most popular singular prop in any of my displays.
@@ghostofautumnwood6379 Very interesting, in the video it mentions using one way mirror film. Is that what you yourself used on these infinity illusions? Or were you using actual one way mirror glass? I ask because I’d love to have a go at this illusion myself but I’m not sure if it’s worth spending the extra money on proper glass or whether the stick on film will work just fine? Thanks!
@@taohudson If you can afford it, go with mirrored glass. It's very expensive, but it's optically excellent and, if cared for, it will easily last for several years. (Just don't drop it like I did.) However, why not get a piece of glass, cover it with mirrored window film and see how it looks.
I absolutely love this idea! Will attempt to make one this Halloween if I have enough time. Could I ask what are roughly the dimension of your skull box? LxWxD
The sides with the skulls are approximately 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall. The top and bottom pieces are roughly 2 feet from front to back and 28 inches from side to side. I think I made the sides a bit wider than two feet because the skulls stick out into that space.
In my newest version ( th-cam.com/video/0KQQasvbI5U/w-d-xo.html ) I made the walls from sculpted sheets of rigid foam insulation board glued to plywood. In the previous version shown in the skull-and-bone video, I also used rigid foam glued to plywood, but, in that case, I cut individual stones from the foam and glued them to the walls.
Thanks. If you freeze at the 4:10-4:11 mark on the video, you can see two "L" brackets on the front bottom of the box. They're also on the back. I moved them outward enough to allow space for the mirrors. Once the bottom of each mirror was resting in the cradle created by the brackets, I screwed two brackets in at the top of the box. The reason my first mirror broke was because I rested the mirror in the bottom brackets, then stepped away to get the brackets for the top, thinking that the mirror would stay in place. It didn't. I used "L" brackets to hold all the sides together but, obviously, didn't put any screws into the mirrors. I wasn't worried about the brackets being visible in the front because I knew the rear panel on the hearse would cover the first inch or two of the sides of the infinity box. If you use brackets to hold the mirrors, wrap them in some electrical tape to prevent scratches on the glass.
@@ghostofautumnwood6379 ah perfect. i saw the L brackets on the box holding the top to the sides which makes sense. I hadn't thought to use them for the mirror. much easier than trying to tape or glue it. I have been wanting to build this for 2 years now (the infinity box) so think I am going to give it a try now that I think I have worked out small details. Thanks for the inspiration!
Note that the word "Luminous" describes a material that will glow after all light sources (both visible and UV) are removed. But, they dim pretty quickly. I think what you wanted to use is "Fluorescent". They need a UV light source to make them light up. But, fluorescent paint is both cheaper, and more effective for something that needs to stay visible for hours.
@@HalloweenLover7 Looking at the pictures in the video, I'd guess the hallway was about 4 feet in length, 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide. The cost of a 6 x 2 foot mirror today would not be outrageous, but the same size for a two-way mirror would cost a small fortune. You might be forced to go with a sheet of glass covered in mirrored window film, but that means a reduction in image quality. Good luck.
I really want to make one of these. What did you use to attach the skulls? I'm trying to make mine as light as possible, so trying to get ideas for materials to use.
As I recall, I just laid them on the board and then squirted insulating foam around them. The foam, which is *very* sticky (wear gloves), expanded to hold the skulls in place. I think I had to cut away some of the foam where it rose too far on the sides of a skull. Build up the foam a little at a time.
@@DynamicPurple You can use any adhesive you want--Liquid Nail, Gorilla Glue, silicon caulk, Elmer's.... An advantage of using the foam is that it fills the gaps between the skulls and creates an irregular surface. But it's a pain to paint.
@@ghostofautumnwood6379 Yeah I like the effect of the foam being able to be cut down to look like rocks but I can see how it would be hard to paint. I'm planning to make a door sized illusion so it would be a lot.
Hahahaha... shit.....!!!! For me as a artist, this is one of the way way cooler things i have ever seen! You could not get me away from trying to stair at the 20th skull.. then the 25th...35th... :-D It is absolutely amazing!
Hey Homie, That was pretty rad for sure!!! Just an FYI in case ya ever get in a pinch like that again ... or just wanna save the dough, there's one way mirror "tint" you can put on glass, plexi, acrylic, etc. etc. super easy and I think they even have it at places like Michael's and Hobby Lobby nowadays, so you could get it quick w/o breaking the bank ... OR the mirror 😎 Hope it helps! The project looked tight, even w/the adversities ... Ya did GREAT!!! Have a good one. Much love!!! ✌ ϻя.ƹ
One of the greatest Halloween decorations of all time.
this would be cool af for a pc case
Search for "In Win infinity mirror"
That idea brought me here xD
The result looks amazing!
Tubular Bells is a great track. Also this infinity mirror is brilliant. Well done 👍🏻
Please do a hall way/corridor infinity mirror. 😎
Hmmmm, thinking I can incorporate this into my space theme this year. Great effect, and I winced when you showed the broken one way mirror.
Just had the idea to do something similar to this as a "book" nook for my DVD shelf. Happened across this, good to have a preview of how it could look haha
Impressive!!! Love it!!!
This my friend is absolute awesome and you are Awesome totally inspired by this. I am gonna do this to my toy room thank you.
Cool...
Wonderful design
Best choice of background music
That is fantastic mate.
That's so cool it looks like staring into the infinity of the afterlife if you get me!
Even without the illusion, the ghost rider being drawn by a skeleton horse is fantastic.
Beautiful
your right. why are there no comments.
Thank you for the amazing video. Would it be possible to create a version for selfies? What kind of modification I have to do so you can take a selfie in this mirror. Thank you again!
this is amazing
I can imagine making the Chamber of Secrets like this
Very Cool idea!
4:25 poor you 😥
Very cool final result! 👍
Love it!!
Wow 0:56 that has to be the best one I’ve seen so far 👌 love the infinity corridor idea too!

OMG. this is so so so so amazing~~~
So cool!
Great job
thats amazing
So COOL! Nice job!
Thanks.
It's all fun and games till you see someone there
Great! I did something similar in my workshop.
This would be sick in a sub box
YOU COULD MAKE THE BACKROOMS WITH THIS.
That’s rad
5:14 perfect picture!
6:12 very good!
Man that looked great! Fantastic job!

@@ghostofautumnwood6379 thanks for the fast reply. :-) i was thinking it was 3ftx3ftx3ft so good thing I ask!
Why there are no coments :(
Hadn't been turned on.
0:55 wow somebody say me how do it please
ok, let me get my shovel real quick, need some, bio degradable skulls.
Wow!! Do you take commissions? I would love this, but a smaller version I could put on my table lol
May I ask what you used for the walls of your well?
In my newest version ( th-cam.com/video/0KQQasvbI5U/w-d-xo.html ) I made the walls from sculpted sheets of rigid foam insulation board glued to plywood. In the previous version shown in the skull-and-bone video, I also used rigid foam glued to plywood, but, in that case, I cut individual stones from the foam and glued them to the walls.
Ok, thank you!!
Great job. I am very curious how you attached the glass on both sides? Adhesives or some other method?
Thanks. If you freeze at the 4:10-4:11 mark on the video, you can see two "L" brackets on the front bottom of the box. They're also on the back.

instant bad trip

And here I was thinking I was the most picky person about English meaning and pronunciation!
I got a question why did you delete the hallway video?
Do you mean the endless hallway illusion? There was never a video for that. I only had a couple photos taken during its construction.
@@ghostofautumnwood6379I love your endless hallway. Can you tell me what your dimensions were for that?
@@HalloweenLover7 Looking at the pictures in the video, I'd guess the hallway was about 4 feet in length, 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide.

All I was interested in was how to make the skulls box
Do you sell these?
Sorry...no. They're not hard to build, but the price of two-way mirror glass has skyrocketed.

Hahahaha... shit.....!!!! For me as a artist, this is one of the way way cooler things i have ever seen! You could not get me away from trying to stair at the 20th skull.. then the 25th...35th... :-D It is absolutely amazing!
Thanks. Considering all the bigger it is, the illusion is pretty amazing.
You should contact Disney and see if they would include that skull effect in their Haunted Mansion ride. It's as good as anything I've seen there....
Hey Homie,
That was pretty rad for sure!!! Just an FYI in case ya ever get in a pinch like that again ... or just wanna save the dough, there's one way mirror "tint" you can put on glass, plexi, acrylic, etc. etc. super easy and I think they even have it at places like Michael's and Hobby Lobby nowadays, so you could get it quick w/o breaking the bank ...
