    You are looking at the stage of the Kodak Theatre during rehearsals for the 2002 Academy Awards. We had 20 industrial video projectors combining to make one giant image which was 60 feet wide. At one point during the rehearsals that day, the rear-projection screen was flown out to make room for a set change. The projectors were still making a giant image of the color bar test pattern (which I will post as a reference). Since each stack of projectors was making a different part of the imgage, each one was showing a different bar of the pattern. I was shooting for the A/V company that I was working for and got this shot. It has been published in a trade magazine. Not very sharp because I was hand-holding, but I like the effect... :) Total light output here was in the neighborhood of 300,000 lumens. :eek:

    Hope you like... Note that there was theatrical fog being used (as always) and that's the fogginess you are seeing. This is done so that you can see the light beams from the stage lighting.

    Kerry, I love the pattern formed by the lights. Great colors. I like the effect of the slight blur at the bottom where the people are. It gives it a surreal look. Nicely done.-Congrats on the publication!!

    Thank you Denise. Here is the test pattern as promised. You can see how the projected image is made up of different parts of the pattern. If you were to walk from side to side you would have seen different colors coming from the projectors!

    I really like this image. The lighting is great and the suggestion of movement in the people, in my opinion, makes the image stronger.
