Yes it is a university and professional
theatre combined. I was surprised when I saw the frame too!
The
scrim will be stretched on a metal frame first so that it can be flown in and out during the show. After it is stretched on the metal frame it will then be hung on the vertical frame (paint frame that lowers in and out of a well) to be painted. I'm worried that I can't paint it on the floor because it will be on that metal frame and when I walk on it it will pull the fabric. I thought about painting the scrim first then stretching it on the metal frame but I think since the frame is such a strange shape it will pull funny. Does that make sense?
I'm planning on using
Rosco Supersat instead of dye. It's been suggested to me to very lightly starch the scrim first so that it will prevent heavy bleeding of the paint. I thought I would also use HVLP sprayers to apply the paint and use lots of masking and make sure I don't drench the scrim. I know I will have to make sure I don't fill in the holes buy blowing the paint out and or picking the scrim.
Thank you for your help.
