Hi everyone!
I'm a high school theatre teacher and am new to using projections in productions. Our theater has a standard Epson projector installed above the tech booth that administration uses for meetings. I attempted to use this projector to project snowfall onto the cyc - it worked fairly well except that the projection went onto the actors. This happened with any background - rain, snowfall, moon etc. was all projected on the actors. There is no room for a rear projector - there's only a foot between the wall and the cyc. Is there a specific projector that we need to rent or purchase? Or is there a way to make the image not project onto the actors? I'm sorry that this is such a basic question - I'm learning this whole projection business.
Thank you so very much!!
