Creating A Disneyland Castle Projection Show

Watch as Matt Maldonado creates a one of a kind Disneyland Castle Projection Show, at home. Enjoy the journey of creating during this time of uncertainties.

I wanted to create this show for the Disney fans that not only are missing the parks but the magic as well. Like every project I take on I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to push the limits of the knowledge I knew and learn some new skills.

During this video, I'm going to take you on the journey of my first attempt at recreating the magic of a Disneyland Castle show, from home. I knew developing something like this would be a challenge. It almost felt impossible to me but like Walt once said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible".

While building the white model of the castle, my brain was working overtime, trying to figure the "HOW" in the project. I knew very little about projection mapping or creating animations in "After Effects," but it's all about taking an idea and using your imagination, knowledge, and skills that you do have to bring it to life.

There were plenty of long days and sleepless nights while my brain kept bouncing ideas from wall to wall, but that was the best part of the journey.
The curiosity to learn something new, truly developed this project from the start. I have always had a great appreciation for projection shows or any type of live entertainment, in particular the artistry that goes on behind the scenes. So I really wanted to create my own and share it with the world that might need it right now.

Working with my new projection mapping tool the Lightform LFC, I was able to learn the process and create something fun.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did creating it.
