Insights & Common Questions

Our projections work with any standard projector – no special technology needed.

Simply aim your projector at a bright wall or an even surface, and your home will transform into a small world of light and wonder. For window projections, we use a thin rear-projection film that sticks directly to the glass – making the image visible from the outside too. Perfect for festive windows or glowing street scenes. Installation takes only a few minutes, and you can start right away.

All you need is a projector or TV – whether it’s high-end or a budget mini-beamer.

Our files are optimized to run smoothly on almost any device while still looking brilliant. You can play the videos directly via USB stick, HDMI, or streaming stick – whichever you prefer. For wall or window projection, we recommend a smooth, bright surface.

Of course, you can also play the scenes on your TV for cozy holiday vibes in your living room. Our blog offers tips on choosing the right device and brightness settings for the best result.

No – complete darkness isn’t necessary. Slightly dimmed light is already enough to create a cozy, atmospheric effect.

The darker the room, the more vivid the colors and the stronger the magic. For window projections, nighttime lighting outside naturally creates the best contrast. If you’re projecting during the day, simply avoid direct sunlight on the surface. You’ll be surprised how well the glow stands out even in normal light.

For window projections, we recommend using a rear-projection film. It ensures a bright, clear image that’s visible from the outside as well.

The film can be applied with water or spray adhesive and removed later without residue. For floating effects in your room, thin meshes or projection nets work beautifully – nearly invisible, but with stunning impact. You can make figures, lights, or even entire scenes appear to float in mid-air.

We regularly share tips and accessory recommendations in our blog to help you find the perfect setup.

The duration of our projections varies depending on the scene and mood.

Some loops run endlessly as short animations, while others are small cinematic moments with a beginning and an end. For us, it’s less about minutes – and more about the feeling: calmness, wonder, and a touch of holiday magic. Many people let their projections loop throughout the evening to create a constant cozy atmosphere.

Each scene is designed to feel magical – whether you watch it for five or fifty minutes.

Yes, absolutely – we love when our projections bring joy to as many people as possible. You’re welcome to display them in schools, kindergartens, shop windows, or at small events.
