Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material
I've heard shower curtain liners work well for some instances (white ones rather than clear obviously).

You can usually rent metal frames and correspondingly-sized pieces of muslin at grip and electric houses. To some extent, your choice of material may depend on the dimensions you want the surface to be, and whether you can live with a seam or not (a very large cotton drop cloth will have a seam, a smaller one probably won't). -- Bill Basquin -Original Message- From: Mark Street Sent: May 26, 2016 1:25 PM To: Experimental Film Discussion List Subject: [Frameworks] reflective white material Hey All, I'm looking to explore projecting images on the floor, wall and ceiling of a gallery space in the coming weeks.

Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material
Hi If you want inexpensive, you can buy a roll of plastic table cloth material from a party store, and cut it to the desired length. It hangs lovely, and can take front or rear projection. Of course, there’s always just regular canvas. I’ve used both materials and they work just fine, though I sprayed the canvas with super hot water to make it nice and taut. Best of luck — and please let us know what you end up using, and how that goes for you!

Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material
Blackout fabric in white are my favorite for this. You can buy blackout fabric at Joanne's Fabrics for between 9 and 12 dollars/yard on a 48" width. Ask a salesperson to show you. They give blindingly good projection surface. The (enormous) portable screen I made for projection work (in bars & rock & roll venues) cost $150 including using grommets along one long edge - I ZipTie or safety pin in place at the venue.

Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material
Silk and diffusion materials from your local grip-electric equipment supplier works well. With silks you can rear-screen project, with thicker materials like muslin you can front project. They will have a wide selection and it's usually pretty inexpensive, and they also can come with frames and stands so they're flexible and easy to set up.

Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material
I used to use what they called "parachute" material in fabric stores (if those still exist). It was quite heavy, sort of silky, and with a slight texture that captures the projected image beautifully. It's opaque, but you can see a shadow if something is behind it in the light. -Original Message- From: Mark Street To: Experimental Film Discussion List Sent: Thu, May 26, 2016 1:25 pm Subject: [Frameworks] reflective white material Hey All, I'm looking to explore projecting images on the floor, wall and ceiling of a gallery space in the coming weeks.
