Hi Kristy, know it's been a bit since you wrote this but I'd love to hear how it went and if you're looking to use projection again in any of your future 'dream' shows!
You mentioned a link to the rear projector you got from Amazon - but I'm not seeing it. Could you provide the make/model? Or any newer recommendations for a low-budget production? Thanks!
If I didn't say it clearly there, main things you want to shop for are lumens (brightness) as close to 5,000 and up. And then a short throw lens, which cuts down the distance the projector has to be back from the surface to produce a large image. Hope this helps! -Mitch
Hello. Such a great informative video. Please explain how you make/design your own moving scenes (ie Charlottes Web that you spoke about). At the moment I use gifs which is very limiting. Thanks.
I am currently creating 3 projector screens as backdrop for a play in an elementary school. Any recommendations of an affordable device to project an image and spread that image on 3 projector screens? How about for 4 projector screens? I will be using a Hp laptop.
We are working on a children's festival program. Where we will show introduction videos and slides during the show on screen. The files are huge. What laptop would be a good fit to run these shows? And also is there any software that runs and manage these shows other than powerpoint or keynote? Because I don't want to change the quality of the images. thank in advance.
Can you project raster art? Or does it have to be vector? I find it hard to use vector and raster gives me more of the painted scenery vibe that I need for pantomime.
Great question! You can project any kind of art, so long as the image doesn't show as 'pixelated' or low quality when you blow it up to a large size. Unless of course that's the look you want:) If you use rasterized images I would recommend higher quality, like 1920x1080 pixels or even higher, once again depending on the look you're after. And remember, your audience is sitting a ways back from the screen or surface usually so your image doesn't have to be razor sharp. Hope this helps -Mitch
Thank you! This helps me speak with my tech collaborators from a more knowledgeable place!
Thank you so much!!!! Our elementary school is doing Frozen and we are playing with the idea of using projectors for the special effects.

Can you please provide the link for the projector you said you got on Amazon for rear projection?
Can I project from behind (while on the stage) the screen using the outdoor projection screen?

I can't find this anywhere - if I have a drop Center Stage-ish, does it need to be a Scrim? A Cyc is usually in the back, right? Thanks.

Hi Mary! Are you talking one projector or multiple projectors?

Extremely informative!💪👏
Thanks! Mitch is awesome. If you have any questions, he'd love to hear from you. :)
