New Year's Eve

Count it down on the biggest screen in the house.

105 days away · videos not published yet

Status: planned build. No videos published yet. The projection work for New Year's Eve is planned but not built, so there is nothing to download here today. Everything that decides whether it is worth doing — the setup, the gear, what the projection would look like — is below.

What we would build

A party holiday with a single obvious focal moment. The projection job is the countdown and the room ambience behind it.

The projection

Countdown projections, confetti and spark animations, colour-wash party loops, and a clock projected large enough to read across a room.

What it takes

A projector, a rear-projection screen or wall, a PA speaker, and party lighting.

Same kit, every holiday

The projector, screen and lighting do not change between holidays. Only the file you play does, and the file is the cheap part.

The gear this uses

The shared kit behind every build on this site, not a New Year's Eve-specific list — the hardware is genuinely the same for each holiday. Every link is a real product.

New Year's Eve: questions

Honest answers, including whether the videos exist yet.

Does this system do New Year's Eve?

Yes. Count it down on the biggest screen in the house. A party holiday with a single obvious focal moment. The projection job is the countdown and the room ambience behind it.

Are the New Year's Eve projection videos published yet?

Not yet. The build for New Year's Eve is planned but the videos are not published, and we would rather leave a real page here than pretend otherwise. Countdown projections, confetti and spark animations, colour-wash party loops, and a clock projected large enough to read across a room. The gear list below is live now, so you can be set up and ready before the season starts.

What would a New Year's Eve projection need?

A projector, a rear-projection screen or wall, a PA speaker, and party lighting. The same hardware covers every other holiday on the calendar, so nothing here is single-use.

Can I keep the same projector for other holidays?

Yes, and that is the point. The projector, screen surface, lighting and sound do not change between holidays — only the file you play does. Buy once, change the content.

How far ahead should I set up?

New Year's Eve is 105 days away. Most people buy in the last two to three weeks, which is exactly when stock and shipping get tight. Setting up earlier also lets you test the image after dark well before the day.

Where do the videos come from?

Every loop is generated from a written prompt rather than bought as stock footage. Each build page publishes the exact prompt used, so you can generate your own version of any theme at a different scale, speed or colour.
