Giganto 50 Foot Screen Arrives!!
(update 2/8/2007) Welcome OldTruth.com visitors! Hope you enjoy checking out my blog.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our new gi-normous screen arrived and was setup today. It's flippin' HUGE!!
I'm soooooo looking forward to some XBOX 360 action on this baby! ;-)
So bring on the pics already! (click 'em for larger view)
Here's a shot of the open stage for reference...
And finally ... a shot from about the same spot as the top reference shot
Ummm, yeah, that's pretty large eh?
For kicks here a short clip during the "raising of the screen" Download MOV00829.MPG
More pics to follow as the monster photon emitters (aka projectors) are installed...
Let's see - 50 feet wide by - what? - around 20 feet?
So 1,000 sq. ft. - on stage with wash light of, say, 50 footcandles (I'm being generous!) and it looks like that screen will need around 70,000 lumens to really pop with the stage lights on (at 50 footcandles).
So how many projectors are you stacking horizontally and vertically?

Shoot! You guys beat us. HA! ....Acoustic Dimensions is doing the same thing in our new room. Modeled after the Cirque Mystere room in Vegas with a huge thrust stage. I will definately be sending a couple of my guys up to buy you a HUGE steak dinner (unless you are vegan--in that case a tofu ribeye, why don't they just eat carrots instead of imitation meat?) to pick your brain. Seriously...i want to see how you guys are utilizing it to convey your metaphors etc.

I can't even begin to describe how much gamecube (or soon revolution) I'd be playing on that thing.
I'm in awe. Our screen is still about 4 years out.

We're in the process of trying to do this too. We need it not only for video, but it would be great for drama backgrounds (we want to use rear screen projectors). The only thing holding us up, is figuring out how to get it out of the way, when we're not using it. We want to hang it like our theatrical curtains, but we don't have enough head space to get it completely out of the way. About 3' would show. We're wondering if you're using a "drop truss carriage" to move the bottom truss up and down? It kinda looks that way in the picture.
Any suggestions would help us.

Our screen is pretty much permanent. The fit was really tight...in fact they had to force the heating ducts about 3" up just to get it to fit in the space height wise.

i love the term "force." did it involve architectural sledge hammers.
