Hey all,
My HS is staging Les Miserables, and we are trying to project a powerpoint of the show's locales onto a screen above the stage. There are two options here:
a) Projector at back of house, pointed up at roughly a 30deg angle to hit a screen above the main curtain - throw distance roughly 60'
b) Projector at back of house, angle is nearly 0deg, to hit a screen upstage of the scenery, throw distance roughly 90'
Either way, we are looking for the image to end up being about 3-4' high by 8-10' wide. Ambient lighting should not be a huge concern.
What might we be looking for in a projector? Would most rental shops have something like it or do we need to go to a specialized rental house?
Thanks!
