When trick-or-treaters entered the Brentwood, Tennessee, home of Mark S., little did they know they would find themselves at the center of the earth. And there, a Tyrannosaurus-sized surprise awaits inside. Nevermind the candy!To bring this prehistoric vision to life, Mark and his partner, Kyle W., transformed their foyer into a misty, primordial jungle using AtmosFX’s Dinosaur Encounter Decoration Collection. By cleverly building AtmosFX Window Projection Material directly into the set and projecting from behind – a technique known as back-projection – Mark and Kyle created a truly immersive experience.
Clearly, to build a Jurassic-size display such as this requires teamwork. Kyle built the physical sets and dressed them. And Mark did the projections, lighting, animatronics, as well as the atmospheric effects. It all works!
“Our trick-or-treaters were fascinated with the dinosaurs,” Mark tells us. “Some asked, ‘Are we outside?’” That sense of wonder is exactly what he aimed to inspire with his creative use of Dinosaur Encounter and handmade design elements.
While Mark’s display wowed Halloween visitors, don’t forget that the Dinosaur Encounter can be adapted to a variety of celebrations year-round. It’s a perfect fit for dinosaur-themed birthday parties – or even International Dinosaur Day on June 1.
