Steep projection angle

[Peter]

I knew this would be difficult if not impossible. I already proposed leds but i'm afraid the budget wont allow it. I will try to gain more distance between the projector and screen.

Thanks guys!

Been thinking again about the led solution. It needs to look like a good projection and be relatively affordable. This week i saw the barco Ilite 6 XP and was quit impressed but i suppose this will be too expensive. Any suggestions on that (it's a touring production with little setup time)?

Stealth from Element Labs,

pixel resolution is only 25mm but its easy to rig and tour

Hey Peter,

About 6 months ago I created a design proposal to do something you are trying. The installation was for a clients penthouse. The throw distance was about 6' and the screen size was to be 18' tall.

I haver attached a pic showing how we were going to use stacked projectors and bounce mirrors to do this. The mirrors were huge. The blending was not going to work because of the steep angle difference between projectors.

If you look at the pic, you'll see that one projector was below the screen and the other was above. The good news was that we were able to use 1.8 lenses. With 0.8 lenses and better mirrors, it might be possible but nuts.

We will try to do something like this (also thanks to fons from improve) using a fixed lens 1.2, so there will be only 1 mirror. What do you think? And what the blending in this situation? There will be 3 projectors and 3 foils to cover the backdrop.

Oops, forgot the picture...

Hi guys,

Meanwhile we 've worked on a retro setup. But what do you think about this angle in front? It's a lots less steeper.

Thanks.

Oepsi, the angle isnt to the center of the screen, didnt sleep enough...
