Victorian Father Christmas window projector display

A few years ago I saw a house with a window projector that was inside onto the window, it made it look like a traditional Father Christmas was walking around the room holding a candle, it must have been a 30sec clip on repeat. It was truly beautiful and I’ve been trying to find it ever since and can’t find it.

Anyone seen anything like this or what I should be googling for?

I've been looking at these - there are a few on Amazon called "window projectors". You have to hang a sheet over the window to get them to work. Most of them seem to have christmas and halloween options.

I have been tempted but their reviews aren't great. I'd love to hear from someone to had one!

Have a look at AtmosFX. You download the video, then run it through your projector.

They have a traditional Father Christmas one and a lovely Victorian carol singers one

Have you got a link @Scotinoz ? I don’t think I can find what I’m looking for.
That sounds about right with a sheet over the window @Stompythedinosaur

Does it work OK? I'm tempted but some of the reviews aren't very positive.

Yeah. Its a bit fiddly getting to square up and you have to manually change the scene (only plays one on repeat) the local kids love it. Ive seen better mainly halloween ones. But its good for the price.

@flamingstar56 yes!!!
You have given me Christmas goals for next year!
Now I wonder what you were looking for when my thread popped up.

Hurray! Glad I could help 😀

Just moved house and am
looking for some sort of projection that is slightly magical / unique / tasteful for Christmas. Your post popped up, and I googled it and this YouTube thing came up!

Now to enlist my husband’s tech skills to set it up 🙂

Do let me know how it works out and if you find the video/film clip to project like the your tube explanation. In my head it’s FC walking around with a candlestick or nothing!
