I know this video is God knows how old, but THANKS! I’m in the states, and we go crazy over our Christmas decorations here. I bought a digital projector, and an actual front and rear screen with grommets. The task is to put the screen on the lawn, and project Christmas video onto it from behind, with the projector sitting inside the house. But I couldn’t figure out a damn way to mount the screen taut, on a permanent basis (I can store it in my garage), and be able to easily position it as far as height and projector-screen-distance! This solution is PERFECT! Just have to plop it on stands, of which I already have plenty. A big THANK YOU from across the pond!!!
So I did this, using this vid as inspiration to play a movie in the background, outside in the shade during the day, for my daughter's birthday party. Went ahead and made legs from pvc and 2 more T joints with caps on the end. Using an Anker Mars II projector, which is only 300 lumens on max brightness. Used a medium weight Frost shower curtain from Walmart for $5 US. It worked amazingly well. I was quite shocked. Not only did it help keep my projector safe, it worked much better than trying to do this on a make shift front projection setup. I made the screen size ionly about 50 inches, as the projector isn't the brightest (being portable and battery powered), but was amazed at the outcome. Thanks for posting.
Hi can you tell me which fabric is best to use i tried a white shower curtain but on the fx scenes where there was no background the white from the projector made the curtain show i want it too show as little as possible, would grey material solve this, thanks, good video
Hello, it's a plain frosted shower curtain. We got a very cheap one. Although it works OK some kind of thicker plain plastic sheet would be better. I've ready that 'ploytunnel' sheet works well...
Yeah and no sense of editing or structure to the videos, or script or pace :) I completely agree, by the way, this was the last thing shot with that camera; I gave the camera to an eight year old who was very excited...
