How to Project Dinosaurs on a Window

Jurassic Park Party Ideas

Wondering how to project dinosaurs on a window after watching my Jurassic Park party? You’ve come to the right place! Photos and videos don’t even do the effect justice. It really looked like there were dinosaurs right outside the window. Here’s how to project dinosaurs on a window!

How to Project Dinosaurs

I used my AtmosFX projector, the same projector I used to projector fireworks on my ceiling, dancing skeletons at my Haunted Mansion party, and singing pumpkins at my Halloween party, for this effect. More specifically, I used the “Dinosaur Encounter” pack. (You can also purchase each dinosaur scene individually here.) 

Download the pack, copy it onto my SD Card, and pop the card into the projector. 

Do you need a projector screen?

The effect does look much better with the screen that comes with the AtmosFX projector. I taped the screen on the outside of the window where I wanted the effect to appear. I then set the projector on a small table (about 3′ high) about 6-7′ back from the window. The screen and projector were outside of the house.

After dark, I turned the projector on and set it to run through all of the dinosaur effects (simply by selecting them all, then hitting play). That’s it! Dinosaurs in the dining room. Pretty cool, huh?

What dinosaurs are included?

There are several scenes showcasing a T-rex, raptors, a triceratops, and a brontosaurus. The projector ran all night long (for at least four hours) and never got hot or stopped playing the effect. If you’re hosting a dinosaur party, this is THE decor element you need.

I wish I had taken photos of my friends’ faces when they walked in. Jaws were on the floor! I cannot stress enough how much the photos don’t even do it justice. You’ll just have to see for yourself!

    Hey!! How well does this work during the day if you have a dark-ish house?

      Great question! You will be able to see it BUT it wouldn’t look great/vibrant. It looks more like a screen too whereas at night, it really looks like there are dinosaurs outside your window. That effect is kind of lost during the day.
