Ghostly Orbs and Spooky stuff
Hello again. Following my last video,which showed an extremely simple way to fake UFO footage, I have been getting emails asking me if I could show how to do some more Easy-Peasy special effects.
Your wish is my command, and so this time I thought I would show you an Extremely simple way to reproduce those videos which puport to show "ghostly orbs" floating around darkened empty rooms.
I have based the effect on a stage effect known as "Pepper's ghost". This is an effect which produces the illusion of a semi-transparent ghost for live stage productions and although the effect can be breath-taking, the principal is very simple.
I think you would be hard pressed to find a simpler "in camera" special effect. If you can't pull this one off you may as well give up. It requires no special equipment, or fancy SFX editors like After effects. In fact, if you have a video camera, and a stable platform to rest it on, then you can do this effect. -Try it!
