Hey Gang,
I have been doing research on PL regarding the use of scrim for visual enhancement but couldn't track down using scrim for blocking beams.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish,
There is a roughly 6x8 foot square opening from the dancefloor to the mezzanine where the bartenders are. I was originally going to use beam block on the aperture of the laser to cover this area as well as block it out with my software settings but then I though about the use of Scrim to allow the bartender to see through to the dancefloor but allow safe beam projecting in that area with scrim.
The projector is 1.3watt and will be projecting roughly 20 feet away. Do you think Tulle/scrim from the fabric store will allow to see through but be safe enough for the bartender in site.
If there is way to much mathematics involved then I'm not even going to attempt this idea as safety is absolute key to my work but this venue is a bit tricky as there are a ton of mirror ball and wall mirrors so I'm going to be doing enough calculating. But if's a easy and safe idea then I'm going to have at it and try it out.
The far left of it will be blocked off but just to the right is a vertical post beam where the only access to it being torn down is the staff at the bar so safety of it being pulled down is a non issue. I am looking to put it from the beam right to the wall. It is also shown at the end of the video. There is a logo on a balloon where I want to cover.
Also the mylar decoration are all down so it is black and blue on the walls and posts.
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions,
Matt
