Anti-Theft Projector Cage

Or, extra protection for when the fear of Jesus doesn’t make thieves think twice!

Jesus Thwart The Steal

This projector cage was spotted in the multi-purpose room of an otherwise perfectly idyllic preschool. Gotta keep those five-year-olds honest!

The submitter also noted that music was provided via a microphone held next to a boombox.

Tip of the hat to GB!

The Best Screen is One That Works?

It appears that this broken projector was “fixed” by extending the signal cable down to a TV on a cart. Great cable management, guys!

Also, it would have been letterboxed content on a 4:3 screen, so I guess it’s better?

Hat tip to J.W.!

Projector as Gobo

Using projectors as gobos on the floor is a pretty common thing nowadays, but nobody wants to advertise Windows errors or hardware failures!

I’ll Bend Your Ear About The “Refurbished” Scaffold Planks

Recently we did some rear projection using Barco Cinema projectors.

These things are about 200lbs each.

The planks for the scaffolding were just recently replaced, and cheap plywood was used.

Friends, don’t use 3-ply 3/8″ for refurbishing scaffold decking. 5-ply marine-grade is what you want.

Tip of the hat to me, since I witnessed it!

Got the Bends? Bar It With Ballast!

Sometimes, fast-fold screens with weak hinges will simultaneously bow inward and upward.

This clever individual used a scaffold stabilizer, weighted lens case and trick line to make this screen square and plumb.

Projector Obscura

I know they advertised their speakers as, “transparent, not adding any color to your sound,” but they don’t let the light through.

(Also, dat screen’s hourglass figure!!)
