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?
Looks like you're getting some great info here. One other thing. I would suggest mocking things up in a 3D CAD program to see what level of keystoning you will need.
The DL.2 has a huge range on keystoning, but when doing Collage you'll find that which ever side has the narrowest image will require you to keystone everything to that size in order to have a consistent image.
In the drawing you showed with everything off to one side. The edge of the image that will hit the surface first will be the narrowest. All the other fixtures then have to keystone down to match that narrow side if you want everything to appear as it if was perfectly projected on there. All that will ultimately affect the size of the resulting image.
