In the fall of 2011 we did the Guts series.
We decided on a Western theme hoping it would convey the gutsy grit of the old west. The juxtaposition worked well and each week had an instrumental rock anthem opener, LaGrange, Blaze of Glory, Whole Lotta Love, Wanted Dead or Alive, and Wayward Son. The set was western and thanks to a lot of help from one of Stokes County finest residents we procured some western gear to get the detail we needed. Burlap was the back wall texture and the deer skull above the stage entrance was my favorite.
I attempted to "stack" two projectors to get the intensity I needed to project the guts series logo on the back wall. Projecting on burlap isn't ideal and stacking two projectors in an attempt to overlap pixel on pixel isn't ideal either. My conclusion is that it's can't really be done but since I was only using a small portion of the whole projected image I was able to get the amount of overlap I needed to have the image as bright as I needed. It took about three hours of tweaking on a custom mount but the end result was pretty good. I don't recommend stacking two 5500 lumen projectors in an attempt to get a good image but in a pinch for environmental projection you may want to attempt it.
