I installed this in the basement installation room. I have 4 projectors, 4 dvd players and 4 pieces of A1 tracing paper. It worked well, that when you were walking amongst the projections, they didn't go because of your shadow, the tracing paper worked well. I had 4 different aspects of the trenches playing in here. It was suggested that maybe i just have the one film but play that on these 4 sheets, making it that you cant break free. That was a useful comment, as when you were in the middle of it, it was very submerging. Unfortunately, due to the heat of the projectors, the whole room was REALLY hot. If i were to do this again, i would like to have it where the room was cold and damp, and you had this happening around you. This would work well for my lake/ mountain piece. I don't yet know how i would accomplish a damp room, or if that would be safe with the projectors, but i could definitely make it cold. Also, if i were to be having this as my 'final show', i wouldn't have the projectors on stands, but placed up high on shelves, so you could walk fully around the sheets without the projection vanishing. I might present my work for the final assessment like this.
