Hi,
First real venture into projection. After research and cost analysis and trying to accomplish multiple uses in future productions, I am planning use a grey Chameleon Cloth for 2 rear projection screens about 8' x 8'. The size is designed to frame a stage (SR and SL) and also act as "legs" that mask side entrances in a black box, or be a freestanding screen that could easily come in and out of a production.
The plan is that it would fit on a standard rolling 4x8 truck and could be used in multiple set ups in the future. After several search attempts I didn't find anything that seemed to adapt so I'm posting here.
My thought is a simple PVC construction framed in wood that would allow for tying the screen at the top and allow for a pipe in the pocket at the bottom of the screen. I'm trying to minimize weight so it can be a freestanding unit. I'm also planning to put a space in the bottom to add sandbag weights. (it may be used without the truck) A mock-up diagram is attached.
