1)project one image a crossed all three screens
Both Pictures and videos
2)Use light to project even washes of color on the screens. (note: that i was planing to use LCD panels to project the colors)
I am normal the lighting director, but I have done some projection for other plays I have worked on. I have also done some tech work for one of the local news stations.
I have about $500 to do this, I have the projectors, and the screen are going to be built by a parent using Trapeze Plus Spandex http://www.iweiss.com/stage/fabric/specialty.html
These are going to be larger then average screens.
Tell me what other information you guy need.
Thank you for your help!!

so.....what is your question that you need help or ideas for? You say you have the projectors..the screens are being built.. Is it lighting the screens? is it making the screens? what size are they?

?

I would front project the images and rear project the colored light..or vica versa....it will make controlling either (well--dimming the color wash) and not washing out the image a bit more 'manageable'..not much but a bit more...IMO.....
