custom triggered video effects

Allen Hopps of Stiltbeast Studios walks through the process of creating custom triggerable video effects, using a haunted moving portrait as the primary example. The technique centers on a triggerable HD video player from FrightProps that fires custom video clips on demand. With some creative video production, this same approach can power a wide range of haunt effects — from jump-scare portraits to zombie wall-breach gags to looping attraction rule displays. The tutorial emphasizes flexibility and creative potential over a single rigid build.
