Believe it or not, there's no forced perspective in the Endless Hallway. It's just very long - it runs almost back behind the Library scene. And then
Went years ago I believe.
People take critics opinions as fact. There’s so many movies that critics love that I hate, or hate that I love. Just watch the movies and make up your own opinion is what I say
You dont suppose they’ll move the suit of armor somewhere else, since he only barely moves.
I don't think so, no
Since the “new” hatbox ghost’s face is a projection, unlike the OG, would this not eliminate the issue that the OG experienced? Or would there still be a problem due to the fact that there is still a physical face that could be seen if too much light is present?
It's less about drowning out the projection when his face is on his neck and more about revealing the means of the trick when it isn't.
Constance was the one addition to Mansion that really ruined an otherwise solid attraction overhaul for me. Not only is she a huge step down conceptually from her legitimately menacing predecessors (the blacked out face with glowing lights for eyes was extremely creepy), but the projection effects somehow look vastly worse than the other multiple decades older facial projections used elsewhere in the ride.
The issue with the Portraits is that they require front light and back light alternating to achieve the effect - which means they need ambient light in the scene around them to help mask that transition. Notice how the Attic went from can lights and blacklight pre-Constance to gobos and specials post-Constance.Constance was the one addition to Mansion that really ruined an otherwise solid attraction overhaul for me.

As i've said multiple times before, one of the most glaring reasons it looks as bad as it does is due to the fact that the face surface appears to be flat. Leota and the singing busts have actual physical features such as noses, cheeks, eye sockets, ears and even subtle lip shapes. This gives the projection a 3-dimensional surface to adhere to and make them look much more realistic.
From what I can tell, Constance's head lacks any of these details. On top of this, i'm guessing the veil also probably negatively impacts the projection as well, since it appears to be a front projection instead of internal. I believe Leota by comparison was made internal when she began levitating. Constance looks awkwardly flat at every single angle, even straight on doesn't look correct. It also doesn't help that they try to project moving hands and an axe onto the torso, which also looks stupid (even if the basic concept itself wasn't already terrible).
I actually like the portraits. I never liked the obnoxiously loud noises and silliness of the old popup ghosts and find the portraits a more subtly creepy effect. As for their light requirements, would something like a rear projection (or perhaps even very dimly lit OLED screens) help with potential light spillage into the environment? Still, i'd be fine with the portraits leaving, especially if it meant we'd get something closer to the old darker bride back again.
Which is a definite improvement - I love the new attic scene. I would like to see the bride improved, but I like the general concept of the attic now.
I mean, while it's nice to be able to see all the stuff around the Attic, and some of the theatrical lighting is nice, I think it's a shame that what was once the dark-heart of the ride now plays host to no spooky characters. Given the choice between the current lighting scheme or an actually effective Bride in the Attic I know which one I'd choose.
Hold on -- I had one last Christmas.
