OGCooDirty Projections
Halloween and Christmas house projection

Your house is the show.

Each show is built for one house. The scenes are painted onto your walls, windows, doors and garage, so characters walk along the porch, the garage door becomes a movie screen, and the whole house changes with the music.

Try it on your house

Put a show on your own house

Pick a photo of the front of your house, trace around it, and watch show looks play on it. Your photo stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Straight on from the street works best, with the whole front of the house in the picture.

A quick preview made in your browser. A real show is fitted to every window, door and roofline and built to the music.

Effects menu

Pick your effects

Tap a picture to watch the effect on a house. Add the ones you like and they go into your request, so I know what to save for the biggest moments in your songs.

These run on a drawing of my own house. In your show they're fitted to yours and timed to the music, alongside the scenes and characters.

How it works

How I build a show

No measuring tape, no visit, and no outline for you to draw. A good photo of the front of the house is enough to start.

One photo of the front, taken from the spot where the projector will go, with the whole house in frame. Dusk works best.

The show is fitted to it

Every wall, window, door, garage panel and roofline is traced from your photo, so frost grows along the real trim, characters stand on the real porch, and nothing spills onto the lawn.

Questions

Questions people ask

Do I need my own projector?

Yes. The show is a video file made for your house, and it plays from your projector. Tell me what you have and I'll make sure the show fits it.

How bright does the projector need to be?

Brighter is better. Around 3,000 lumens or more works for most houses, and a dark or brick house needs more. A short-throw projector can sit closer to the house.

What projector do you use on your house?

An Epson PowerLite L210SF. It's 4,000 lumens, 1080p and short throw, so it sits close to the house on the lawn and still lights up the red brick. Its built-in Point Correction lets me pull the picture onto the windows and doors exactly. Every show on this site was tested on it. You don't need the same one: your show gets fitted to your house and your projector.

Can I move the projector after it's set up?

Keep it in the same spot. The show is lined up from that spot, and moving it even a few feet throws the fit off. Mark where the legs sit so you can put it back each night.

How do people hear the music?

Most shows play the sound through a small FM transmitter, so people tune their car radio to your station. Outdoor speakers work too if the neighbors don't mind.

Will a street light wash it out?

Bright light on the house fades the show. Tell me in the form, and the show can use bolder colors and keep the key moments away from the brightest wall.

How do I pay?

Half up front to start, and the rest when your show is ready, before the final video is sent. Venmo works.

How far ahead should I order?

Two weeks before your first show night. In the busy season, October and mid-November through Christmas, give it three weeks. A custom full show takes up to a month.

What do I actually get?

A 1080p video file built to the photo of your house. Play it from a USB stick, a streaming stick or a laptop, on a loop or on a schedule.

Why do you need a photo from where the projector sits?

The show is lined up to the house as the projector sees it. A photo from that spot lets every window and door land where it should.

What if my house has a tree or a car in the way?

Say so in the form. Shows can skip a blocked wall, or put the busiest moments where the view is clear.

What's the difference between a show and a full show?

A show is one song, about four minutes. A full show runs 12 to 15 minutes, act after act with a new house look for each, and opens with a countdown and your family name, with a narrator throughout. It's the same kind of show as my own nights on the Halloween page.

What does the narrator do?

A voice that welcomes the street, introduces each act and sends everyone off at the end. It's $50 on any show, and included with both full shows.

Can my family name be on the house?

Yes. Countdown shows put your name and greeting on the house, and names can go into the main show too.

Can I use any song or movie?

Bring your idea and we'll talk it through. Some shows use original art and music, and some use media you supply for your own home display.
