A homemade Silver Screen experience
Jul. 18th, 2016 12:09 pmGarage sale went great - loads of stuff, a plentious bounty of customers and great weather! Yay! Bought one thing there, someone had a Zoombox projector for cheap so I got it to play around with.
Plays a dvd ok, good sound but dim level of bulb so you really have to have the room dark for it to work - the dim and grainy effect was an inspiration so I fetched the old roll-up projector screen I had as a castoff of a school and set it on its tripod in the living room. It's a late 40s-early 50s vintage and even silver instead of white!
As soon as it was dark, we watched a great Buster Keaton silent film on the silver screen with popcorn. Perfect.
All it needs now is a recording of the ticky-ticky sound that the old 8mm projectors made. Sense-surround!
