Andy, I’ve experimented a lot with different materials (often against my will!). There’s much that would work (depending on what you’re willing to live wth), but there’s no substitute for actual screen material. Do you need one continuous surface or can there be “seams” between? How tall of a surface do you need? Something as simple as an army of pedestal screens could give you 30 feet wide (as it did once for me at a screening at Oberlin College), but then each image lived inside its own tidy rectangle or images that sprawled did reveal the seam. A few Fast-Fold screens side by side can do the trick too with fewer seams. If you haven’t already selected the space, a 30’ white wall might be easier to find (and seamless) even if the different paint finishes (glossy, satin, eggshell, etc.) will reflect the image differently. Lots of solutions, none of them perfect, some more expensive than others, etc…
Good luck!

Can anyone suggest what kind of material I should look for? White vinyl has been suggested, but I'm not sure how that would work as a projection surface. Any advice is much appreciated.
