hey there.
you might take a look on that video. this guy made a program which uses a common videoprojector (we germans call that "beamer") as a light effect. the download will be available soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qp_W-72hX4&feature=channel |

It sounds like a pretty good idea, especially from a health and safety point of view.
If you didnt notice, there is a demo of that software, not sure about the limitations of it though. Im guessing you would need a projector with a high contrast ratio to get the best effect and reduce light spill. DLP would be better suited then LCD id of thought |

I used to use my projectors as lights when I were a teen :) being able to emulate lasers seems cool though. And I just got myself a 6k triple chip DLP :)

6k - nice Seems a very effective, very interested in this. Might consider nocking up some animations - sure be easy enough in flash / premier to achieve this. I'll see what's going on over on VJ forums, might be something already about like this. Tom thinking about it you're gonna get some serious depth of field issues with this surely :/ Edited by tomschute - 31 August 2009 at 7:53pm |

Biggest problem will be contrast ratio as projevting black will only be as good as the ambient light levels. Hence expensive projector installs are rear projected in a blacked out roo. Mind you some sort of rear pro rig may be an option.

Excellent I'll take a look. Projectors are becoming cheaper and cheaper at much higher level lumen counts.

I had a look at the first program linked and it appears to be rather basic, not tried it with my projector yet but I wouldn't expect a lot.
The second link appears much more promising, will have a play with it later this week and if it works well I might use it for a gig in a month or so's time. |
