How is the projection effect created?

If you guys look at the video it seems the projection was ether added or altert in Post Production.

You see projection on the subject but not on the background.

I think the projections were done live with the performers and they carefully avoided nearby walls/backgrounds for the projections to spill onto being in shot..

I think that's it, too.
Black backgrounds the talent is maybe 15-20 feet away from.
PLUS, very well done Projection Mapping. I'm dabbling in projection mapping just of fun. Software out there lets you design video and graphics specifically for, and project on, specific shapes, objects, several from a single projector. So I don't see why they wouldn't have done that, in addition to cleaver set design.

That predates my 80's experiments with this technique by twenty years. :ohmy:

As to how old this effect is, goes back to black and white film. "Oldest trick in the book" so to speak.
