Hi, I searched for old posts about this, and learned a lot about scrims, but couldn't find my specific topic. I've done some gobo, slide and video projection work, but not enough to know all about all the fabrics out there. I used a fabric from Rose Brand in a show a while back that was cool, but didn't save the link and the designer who chose it lost all his old bookmarks in a hard-drive crash. (As a result, and aware I have a really bad memory, I'm keeping a much better database for myself nowadays ...live and learn).
For Frost/Nixon, I've been researching possible FP fabric that can be relatively translucent, like a scrim, when not in use for projections. I remember this being done in the Beijing Olympics but haven't found what they used, yet (at least for reference). The instant I heard we were going to try to do this I knew Sharkstooth was out.
I've found a lot of info on Chameleon Scrim, which looks good and I'll certainly be suggesting it.
In Stage Productions' white paper they mention "Silvered Sharkstooth Scrim" - but I can't seem to find that mentioned anywhere else. Anyone heard of it? Used it? Have a link?
I highly suspect it'll probably be "right in front of my face" so apologies in advance!
