Thread: Full Moon Film Screen

Tweet

We got a projector and put up old classic movies on it during our party a couple of years ago.

While everyone was sober, it was a big hit.




And video (with strobe light going on at the same time:

How to make it:


Made this out of the lightweight white housing insulation panels that you can buy at Lowe's.

Bought two of the panels, then cut one 1/2 of each moon in each panel, then used 1 X 1 inch furring strips on the back side to mount the two separate halves together.

In the middle furring strip, screwed in a metal hook so that we could hang it from the main stage.

Next, I downloaded a picture of the full moon, and working from that used Fusion Light-Brown Spray Paint available from Fred Meyer or Lowe's to paint a full moon.

What a great idea! Might have to "borrow" that next year. :-)

cool! great idea!

Thanks!

Ironically, it was the last project done and was done in about 30 minutes - but got the most compliments.

As a side note - practice with the spray can on the back side first so as to get a grip on how to spray out the front.

That is a really cool idea!

I've projected on black before so I'm pretty sure there's image overflow (since projected image is square or rectangle) but I'm guessing unless its a really vibrant scene most probably never notice it.

Very cool!

Thanks Crunch!

Hi Victor - I think we figured out some way to project a circle. I wasn't in charge of renting/ setting up the actual projector, so I'll double-check with that person and get back to you here.

Cheers!

we ended up putting a small paper cut-out around the projector's lens so there was no bleed-over.

Some parts of the screen wouldn't show up, but since we were showing old B-Horror movies, it didn't really matter.

Good job- a very simple masking
