Hello again, I just wanted to post about this before my brain explodes.I work at a high school and we are currently doing "Letters to Sala" which includes projections. We have already rented three projectors and three screens, but I'm trying to figure out the computer end of things.I had...

Oh, she knows. She tends to think very very big. Very big. And this is for a high school show. I think everyone will be happy if we get 30 seconds out of one, and I build two.

Snail mail. Some with envelopes, some without. The director wants them to fall over a span of about 10 feet, and have them fall over a minute.
