Creating the Magic Floating Head Illusion

Have you ever wondered how cinematographers create the floating ghost head in movies and photographs? Nowadays, you can photo chop a photo or a video sequence. But that takes a lot of post-processing work. How did old-school photographers do it? And how can you do it without editing each video frame to remove a body?

In this article, Nicole Reptar, who produces Magic Floating Head videos on Fiverr, explains, demonstrates, and reveals how to produce a Magic Floating Head video, using old-fashion special effects. Using this technique, you can produce the Magic Floating Head at home or on stage. Nicole is an actress, model, singer, and provides voice-over talent. This how-to video that she helped us create is fun and entertaining to watch. Watch the video below.

Although this article uses a video to demonstrate this special effect, the same technique applies to a photograph taken with a still camera.
