A buddy of mine is doing a project using a reflection technique which casts a ghostlike image on a piece of glass. I know it is an old stage trick, but for the life of me I cannot remember the name of this technique. If anyone knows the name and some info on the correct way to pull off this illusion please respond. Thanks! |

Maybe an easier way would be to just shoot your ghost on a black background then superimpose it with your editing program. You could photograph the ghost using a lot of light so that it is really over exposed. Then, in your editing program, set the transparency to 50% or more. If your ghost is a CG model you can do the same thing. It might also help if you shoot the ghost out of focus. |
