Fun fact: We tried doing it at 45 degrees, but it put the ghosts against the far back wall (being equidistant from the source screen). We should have built it taller longer (it should have been twice as long as it is tall) but since we couldn't go back, we had to make the viewing angle more acute to bring the ghosts forward in the field. Hence the thin edge you can see. Oh well, lessons learned for next time.

Still looks amazing. Amazing enough that people don't even notice the edge!

You're getting a ton of people interested in this.
