Hi,
I'm fairly new to theatre as a director, and I'm interested in staging a scene where video is rear-projected on a scrim (or other material) downstage, with action visible on stage between the projector and the scrim.
To give you a little more detail, I want an actor watching TV, only instead of an actual TV it's a box with a projector in it and the image is being projected behind him (So, US --> DS, Projector, Actor, scrim)..I want it to remain fairly translucent, in a way that the audience can see both the image and the actor.
Will this work? And if so, what kind of material would you suggest?
