Questions on HM effects.

Hey all,

I've been searching on the internet for some time but can't seem to locate the answer to my questions, so bear with me if they have already been answered,(and sorry for yet another HM thread!:) ) I was wondering if anyone could tell me how they achieve the new leota effect, as I have seen many videos and assumed it involves a cable, but I just can't seem to figure it out. 2. How are the morphing pictures achieved? Is it a scrim effect or a video screen or none of the above? And 3. How does Constance work? I can't seem to figure out how the project works if the arms move yet the manaquin doesn't. Also, how do the portraits in the attic work? Thank you very much ahead of time for dealing with my questions!

The footprints in the staircase scene are pretty cool looking also..

Would like to know exactly what is involved there also.

in the ballroom scene - has there always been a coffin with ghosts coming out of it into the ballroom? there is a hearse (spelling?) backed up to an open set of doors - i do not remember seeing this before - and half of the people i ask say it's new and the other half say it's always been there...

The hearse has always been there, but I've never noticed ghosts coming out of the coffin before.

It's too bad that the guy who rode it over 1,000 times isn't part of this board. He might be able to tell us...;)

Could they be referring to the ghosts floating in through the window (or is it a door? Shoot, it's been too long since I've ridden!).

Perhaps the reason we've never noticed them before is because the attraction has been cleaned and received some TLC so these things aren't unintentionally hidden anymore...

...either way, I can't wait to ride in 3 weeks and see for myself :sohappy:

I paid close attention to this last night at MNSSHP. It looks to be done with fiber optics, not the kind you see making stars like on SSE but it's closer to a plasma TV effect. I've seen this effect used on stage before but this is the first time I've seen Disney use it. It's very cool!

I believe the ghosts coming out of the coffin were always there, but now we get to enjoy them better. Also, the gun flinging ghosts that come out of the portraits are nice and crisp, as are the random pair of legs under the table. It's great to see these back again.

The ghosts coming out of that area were there before. Thankfully, they are much more visible and noticeable now. :)
