Knowing this, I decided that we might get better results if we use actual frost instead of tape.
I found that the tape we used had a diffusion quality similar to R102.
As you can see in the picture below, it was an improvement, but there was still a blended dark spot that almost obliterated the clouds when they traveled through the center. At first it was suggested that we try using scotch tape on our projectors, allowing its frost quality to blur the line in the middle. Note the seam in the center of the projection surface above that gives the appearance that of two separate panels.Īfter trying to address the problem in QLab, we began to explore low-budget, physical solutions to solve our problem. In my original tests, the two center projectors blended together almost completely however, once the installation began and the actual projection surfaces were in the air – blending became a problem. In order to make this work on a small budget, we had to borrow a total of four projectors – all of which had different lamp outputs. While working on a recent production of The Bridges of Madison County at the Clinton Showboat Theatre in Clinton, IA, the production’s Scenic Designer, Steven House, approached me with the idea of creating a panoramic projection surface of the sky.
