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.
There is a new product on

This is not a panacea for the situation as you need very powerful projectors to give a reasonable intensity over a huge area like a cyc and you still have to leave a clear distance in front of the cyc to stop shadows.
I will be trialling one of these shortly to see how practical it is.It is not cheap, neither are high power projectors.
