Peppers Ghost effect with limited supplies and many constraints

[Grayson Merchant]

Hello all!
So, for a show called "Childe Byron" that I'm looking at directing. The show is about Ada the Countress of Lovelance looking back at her father whom she barley knew, he comes back through her hallucinations because she is on many meds. Due to the fact that she is dying of cancer.

That being said, I would love to take it a step farther and use Pepper's Ghost Effect.

Unfortunately, our supplies are limited. We aren't allowed to animations and we don't have access to a fly space or a large sheet of scrim. And it has to be set up within 7 mins. We can use projectors, a small scrim-but it cannot remain there the whole show.

Anyone know how to do it easily?

Just an idea:
Hide the setup in a wardrobe-cabinet-with-a-'mirror' where the image comes from the 'mirror'
or a window-to-the-room and image comes from the other side of the window.

A Pepper's Ghost effect need not be full body length, can be head-and-shoulders only. Such a setup could be prepped on a roll-in-roll-out setup or as part of a cabinet. Need not use projection, use a TV facing upwards or downwards depending on the angle of the mirror, but be aware that if the image does not fill the sides of the TV, then the edges of the video are visible since video black is not true black.
