Davin replied to Michelle Harvey's discussion Visqueen as projection material"However, if you are using a short throw lens, then by going off axis you will be unable to have a clear focus across your image. That being said, there are some "ultra-short throw" projectors with a fixed lens intended for classrooms…"
Davin replied to Rich DePalma's discussion Broadway Lights & Video"Indeed, it is the result of Sharff Weisberg and Worldstage (LA based company). It took awhile after the merger for the name change to finalize. "
Davin replied to Rich DePalma's discussion Broadway Lights & Video"While there are many houses who can handle large video installations, the company that comes to mind for many Broadway productions is http://www.worldstage.com/.

Davin's Blog
Check out my regular blog
So, I don't blog much, and since I belong to several forums, I doubt that I'll update this one very often. Instead, I ask everyone to keep up with my ramblings on my regular blog. While I may not be the most witty person on the planet, some may even say I'm in the race for preachy or annoying, I'm sure that you will still find something of value at some point. Enjoy.
