Concept - Test shots 1

A very rough and ready shoot by AnnMarie and Ruth, with help from Andy, to try out the concept of projecting an image onto someone's back.  Andy drew the USA on a slide and coloured the background blue.  This was projected against a white wall and onto the model's back. 

This quixk test highlighted some of the practical issues with setting this up such as:
  • getting the imnage the right size
  • positioning the image correctly so it fits onto the back (and how this needs to be adjusted for different models)
  • getting the lighting right using just the projected light so that the image stands out clearly
  • getting the coloured light to spread wide enough to cover the whole frame
  • need to use a long lens so that the photographer can work from behind the projector etc
