What this video covers
Wicked Makers (Jaimie and Jay) build a motion-triggered haunted mirror prop for their yard haunt by combining a thrift-store vintage frame, a two-way mirror panel, and a monitor running custom ghost footage. The ghost video stars Jaimie, professionally enhanced with visual effects and eerie audio by Fiverr artists. When a trick-or-treater walks up, the motion sensor fires the media player and a ghostly apparition materializes in the mirror. The build draws inspiration from their earlier DIY smart mirror project and folklore figures like Bloody Mary and Candyman.
Key takeaways
- ◆A two-way mirror layered over a monitor creates a convincing ghost-in-the-mirror illusion that looks great even when the screen is off
- ◆A Sprite media player paired with a motion sensor automates the scare without any manual triggering
- ◆Outsourcing VFX work to Fiverr artists can elevate homemade footage into professional-quality ghost video
- ◆Thrift-store mirror frames keep costs down and add authentic vintage character
- ◆The media player can loop any custom video, making the prop reusable and easily updated each season
