Here's my dilemma. It's for a movie shooting at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. They want to use DL2s to project onto the entryway wall under the porte cochere, where all the taxis and limos drive up to drop off hot chicks. The original idea (attached) was to hang them under the porte cochere far enough back to hit the wall nicely and use collage generator. The problem that came up was the cinematographer loves the architecture of the porte cochere's ceiling and does not want to see the DL2s hanging right in the middle. If they were brighter, I'd put them further back, but that's 72 feet, way to far for these units. Also, they don't want them on the ground because of all the extras and cars that will be passing by. They don't want anyone walking in front of the beams, which would especially look strange in collage mode. So the thought came up to hang them off the side of the porte cochere (attached). While this does solve all these problems, I am concerned about the keystoning of the fixtures in order to use collage generator. Base on the drawing I attached, can any of you tell me if this is going to be a problem?
I think you'll be fine. For my last DL2 rig, the fixutres were off axis almost this far and I ended up shooting about 80' to my main projection surface (but I had complete control over all extraneous lighting). The DL2's kept up like a champ. The keystoning feature worked extremely well and were unable to tell how far off axis it was.
