I can't believe you put up all these lights
Thanks so very much for sharing your knowledge and the video. I made a Happy New Year video and just love it. I can't wait until Christmas next year to display the Santa video.
That’s awesome. Happy new year!
You are amazing Rick. I don't know if I'm more impressed with your initiative or your skill. I also watched your old video on Bolt EGR valve, you are smart!
Haha, Thank you! I fit the old saying, "Jack of all Trades, Master of None." I'm not afraid to try something once.
Rick this was amazing!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That's really cool. I would have flipped out if I was a kid and saw that. Great job.
Probably the cheapest thing in my light display … and it gets the most “ooooh and awes” lol
You have a lovely home Professor Curry!
Thanks, Jose!
Very nice!
Thanks, George!
It never came to my mind to try this material for my windows. I just installed 2 projectors using white table cloth material and got ok results but could be better. COol video.
Thanks so much!
Does that even need the screen at night ? I would have thought it would work without it.
Yes, without the screen all you will see is the bright light coming through the window towards you. It will just be shining though versus projecting onto.
How do you make a loop video from a video clip? I guess my question is after download the clip from yours, how to make it keeps playing over and over on projector? Thanks
Love it, Can you share the video file that plays in a loop ?
Thanks, Rocio. Here's the link to the projection video on my channel. You can use a software like 4k video downloader and save it to a SD card and it will play on a loop. th-cam.com/video/64_WYAr522s/w-d-xo.html
Hi, can you tell me what video software you use. I’ve seen multiple sights but I’m not sure which one you use.
Hi Karen. I'm just using a video clip I created. It's available for free on my youtube channel and is linked in the video title.
Great video!
Could you share the link to your projector or share the model # please?
Thank you!
Hi Ron. I've updated the video description to include the projector information!
Would that work?
Very nice. Where did you get the video
Hi there! The video is linked in the description and on my channel for free download. Enjoy!

Does the Santa come with the projector or do I have to get that seperate
I have a link in the video title and on my youtube channel where you can download the Santa to use in your projector.
Go Texans
Where/how did you get the actual Santa video that plays on the projector?
Hi Janet. It’s a video file that I edited down to loop so the Santa waves at a set interval. There’s a link to the video in the video description.
Thank you! Also, the projector that you use, the Dr J - does it have portrait mode for windows that are skinnier than your window? I couldn’t find it in the description of the projector. And it’s hard to tell the dimensions of your window. Thanks!
@@LexieHoops2026 I took a look at my projector during takedown of my Halloween display and this specific projector doesn’t have a portrait mode. My window is 8x10 but you just move the projector closer or further back depending on the size of the window. If you find one that works better drop the info here so others can see it!
Is there a trick to make the video play repeat without adds?
You can download the video and save to an SD card or USB and play it directly via your projector if it has that ability. That ensures youtube won't interrupt it with an ad.
How would i do this for a moble home?
The setup of the screen would be the same, your attachment point to the wall may differ based on your window frame materials. Mine are wooden so I use nails, but if you have metal frames you could use magnets or hot glue. It might even be easier!
Where do you put the projector…? Outside?
Inside the house directed at the window.
How about wax paper?
Opticore is a brand name - they will work fine without any issues!
Is your projector inside the house projecting through the clear plastic ?? Is that right ?? I can’t wait to make this!!!
Yep. It’s inside the house. Cheap, easy, and makes a huge impact! Good luck 👍
Thats 2 mil, not millimeter. A mil is a thousandth of an inch, much smaller than a millimeter.
I feel stupid for not knowing the difference, but thank you! Math was never my strong suit 🙃
