Good points. Especially not using the rear legs, in a pinch to get more throw. On the pitch shift, we wanted to have a little fun with a new toy.
Thanks Lorin
I'm unclear on why pitch shift was necessary on the voice over, but whatever.
Here are a few more tips on screens of this kind:
1. Know your projector's aspect ratio and throw distance in advance, or you'll have a crappy day.
2. The distinctions between front/rear or dual purpose fabrics are not mentioned.
3. It can be done by one person, but should never be. It should be a team effort or it can get sweaty. Help your co-workers stretch the fabric while it's being put on. Hold up the frame while another worker applies the speed cranks to the legs.
4. Don't permit big lazy dogs to lay down on the fabric while it's being attached to the frame. Yes, this recently happened to me.
5. The corner braces on the frame are key. If you miss one and raise the screen, it's bad wrinkly news.
6. Sandbags. Bag that sucker or it'll fall over on someone. It won't really hurt anyone, but sort of makes for an unwanted spectacle. Trust me on this and don't try it.
7. If you screw up your throw distance, you can move the screen by for example, not using the rear leg braces, push it to the wall and sandbag the front legs....or the other way around and sandbag the back legs.
8. Make sure your legs are measured and equal on both sides, or you'll be horribly embarrassed.
9. The dress kits can be "hacked" into different configurations, but avoid this if your employer cares about proper maintenance of the equipment.
10. Another approach: Hi guys, please build the screens while I sort out the switching.
10a. Watch out, these guys will pinch yer fingers.
