My parameters/limits/opportunities:
- Lots of room backstage. From behind rear curtain to back wall is abour 35 feet.
- I want screen to be about 12 X 15
- Has to disassemble and fit through a standard door (36"x 7 odd feet)
- Relatively low cost (Materials @$500, we have lots of competent labor)
- From screen towards rear of audience is about 70 ft. Audience is wide as well; over 600 seats on a sloping floor.
- We have a front projector mounted under the balcony but it shines on actors.
- Fly may be possible (there is space) but rigging could be a challenge/expense
- We do not have a projector yet but I can spec that out separately I'd like to control it from the light board station at the rear of the audience. We can run cable up and over or along the floor in temporary setups. For this thread I'm interested in screen ideas.
- Factory made product?
- muslin or other fabric we coat ourselves
- wood, metal, truss framework, self made or factory made
