This short demo from FrightProps showcases Hollusion projection material, a specialized scrim that makes projected ghost and spirit animations appear to float in mid-air. The effect combines digital decoration content with the semi-transparent material to produce a convincing phantom illusion suitable for haunted house environments. Even in a brief runtime, the clip effectively illustrates the visual impact achievable with this approach.
This tutorial walks builders through assembling a Flying Crank Ghost-style floating phantom using a previously covered motorized overhead animator as the driving mechanism. Simple, affordable materials — fabric, a styrofoam head, faux hands, and fishing line — are connected to the animator's moving stations to create a smoothly levitating spirit. The result is an eerily lifelike animated ghost prop well-suited to home haunts, yard displays, or indoor haunt environments. It is intended as a companion build to the channel's separate Overhead Animator video.
