Re: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection
Hi Doug, They do make paint for projection but it's pretty expensive ($179 per gallon on the low end and nearly $300 a gallon on the high end). Screen Goo (which sells kits) and Paint on Screen are two companies that make projector screen paint, I've no direct experience with either product (which ranges in color from white, grey, and silver) but you should be able to get test swatches from either company.

Buying a used screen seems cheaper. Easier than painting a wall too. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection
Flat white ceiling paint works well, it is usually a bit brighter than wall paint. You do not want glossy. Do several coats. There is some kind of screen paint but I understand it is expensive. - Tom From: frameworks-boun...@jonasmekasfilms.com [mailto:frameworks-boun...@jonasmekasfilms.com] On Behalf Of Douglas Urbank Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 1:49 PM To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Subject: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection Hello, Would anyone recommend a special wall paint for film and video projection?

Re: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection
As Tessa pointed out, Screen Goo is the official stuff. But, it's expensive. I agree; flat, white ceiling paint works well. I've had really nice results using flat black paint as masking. The masking may not be essential, but it does kill the video black bleed-over Warren On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 3:07 PM, Tom Whiteside tom.whites...@duke.eduwrote: Flat white ceiling paint works well, it is usually a bit brighter than wall paint.

Re: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection
Use Rosco white paint for video projection . It has more body than normal white emulsions. http://www.rosco.com/us/screens/roscoscreen.cfm I saw this used for a projection of Douglas Gordon and Phillip Parreno's 'Zidane and it was well worthwhile.

Re: [Frameworks] Wall Paint for Film/Video Projection
You have heard the official answers. Here is something a bit more DIY: the home theater enthusiasts have done quite the legwork when it comes to figuring out paint recipes that may approach the results of the traditional screen paints. YMMV. http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/diy-screens/44654-cream-sugar-ultra.html cheers r.
