Projecting Images onto Cyclorama
Wed, 27 May 2009, 11:58 amI am trying to get some ideas on how I might project images (in lieu of changing backdrops as we have no fly tower) onto a cyclorama for a ballet school concert. The obstacles are - that there is no space behind the cyc to rear project (only 10cm) and I suspect that running a high powered projector from the dress circle bar will mean the girls are dancing through the projected images. Any ideas? Cheers.
Have you thought of

Not sure of your budget, facilities or how many 'scenes' you want to create, but this could be an option.
For instance, if you want a starry night sky, a city scape and jungle - these are all achievable.
Get some wide angle profiles, most gobo manufacturers have a great range of stars, windows, buildings and leaf break ups.
You could layer these on top of a coloured cyc aswell.
Much cheaper than LED screens, much less hassle than a projector (depending on your skills and ability to cue up a projector from a lighting console).
Hope it goes well.
