Visiting Farnham

I’ve had some success locating projectors. Various phone calls led me to the BA Digital Film & Screen Arts course at UCA Farnham, led by Steve Littman. He kindly agreed to meet with me to talk about various issues with the dome projection, and to discuss lending a projector. I took the dome with me, and trialed a 3500 lumin HD projector in the television studio, which has no light sources, so was perfect for this scenario. It worked brilliantly, leaving a clear, bright image on all the walls. It will be perfect in the enclosed space of the installation. Steve also suggested the use of two projectors, to bring a deeper level to the work, and also pointed out that I should be directing the image onto a mirror angled at 45 degrees, as it damages the bulb to be turned upright. He also gave me some great advice to do with HD compression, which will mean the renders are much better and will run more smoothly.
