Tried out the umbrellas with lights, sound AND a projector today. We have to be truthful and say the projectors really make a difference. Just tested out normal changing lights and also sound sensitive function with the projector.
Unfortunately there are still a few problems with the projector:
-With the umbrellas at heights of approximately 2.0m high (unlike the 2.5m when we tested it with the lens) the image is very small and only covers about three of the six umbrellas. The lens doesn't really help either since the umbrellas are at a closer distance, so the image can't be focused. We could however vary the heights of the umbrellas between each stand, which could resolve this problem - we'd also like to source a bigger lens and see if it helps.
-The base of the stand is not 'big' enough to hold the projector facing up, meaning we will have to modify the design of the base in order to fit it.
We could also carry out another test using sounds that are more related to the ones we are actually proposing (rather than just music)
The effect so far is extremely promising, but we'll have to test this in brighter day light, at the approximate times of the event. The thought so far is putting more emphasis on the sounds to create the environment, but whether that is a successful enough proposition comes down to the experimentation.
