I was able to get some info from /r/tiki and it looks like it is most likely a fiber optic setup. Here's a link to a youtube tutorial in case it can be helpful to anyone else trying to do the same thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFm50jh4o10 On 2019-01-21 17:13, Sandbartender wrote: Bamboo Ben would be the man with the plan for this one.

From Doc Parks, quoted in Kevin Crossman's great new review of Zombie Village: "The projection effects really came as an opportunity that came our way unexpectedly. It wasn’t part of the original design plans. Lightform (https://lightform.com) is the name of the company and they have a device that attaches to a projector and it will map out the surface you’re projecting onto. And they have some really cool filters and effects that they can put onto those surfaces. They are great guys to work with and it’s been fun to bring them in on the project. We have these great carvings from these amazing artists and it’s great to see that work collaborated with what Lightform can do." http://www.tikiwithray.com/guest-tiki-bar-review-zombie-village-san-francisco-ca-kevin-crossman-ultimate-mai-mai/ Anyway, the lights you found look like they might work great between some sheer black fabric and the ceiling. I'd try that idea (especially at the price). I looked up Lightform and it looks like fantastic technology! After reading the blog post you linked, and watching the video on Lightform's website, my understanding is that the projection is on the tikis, statues, other objects. I should start posting photos of my Tiki Bar, which like most, is a major work in progress. Just need to come up with a name...
