[photo-3d] Re: Screen shape

[gccampos@xxxxxxxx]

In my club we usually show slides with our Bracket Fader, which does 
not have the vertically mounted option.  What we usually end up doing 
is set it up to almost show all of a 7 perf RBT slide, and the 
occasional wider slide just bleeds off the warping edges of the 
screen.  It is true that we have wonderful 2x2 shows by Phylis Maslin 
and Al Stenson and many others in our goup, but our height is limited 
due to hanging lights, and I can think of only a handfull of verticaly 
mounted shots in all my years of the club.

I think, with my new screen we'll be set up so that the full frame 
horizontal shots will fit perfectly, and the very very rare vertical 
uncropped shot will bleed off the top and have head top shaped shadows 
in the bottom.

 I thinking the best use of screen square footage ($$/foot) for our 
club is to have a wider than high screen where one in a thousand 
slides (for my club) will bleed off the top and bottom and the 
other 99.9% will fill most of the screen. If your club only does 5 
perf, or you have Boris doing full frame vertically mounted shots then 
a square screen might be better.

IMHO,

Grant
