Slide projector as a substitute for a painting...
I need some advice. We have a large, double-height wall and we're
looking at alternatives to simply hanging a painting or other picture
in the space. One option we're looking at is to buy a slide projector
and project an image onto the wall. To do this, I've got a couple
questions:
1) Would a standard 35mm slide projector do the job? As the slides
would be subject to the intense heat from the lamp for a long period of
time, would this be practical, or would it simply burn through, or
otherwise distort the slide fairly quickly? Or is it possible to get a
slide made using a process that's particularly robust (and not overly
expensive).
2) Can anyone recommend a slide projector that's reasonably priced for
this purpose. I've noticed on ebay that 35mm projectors are pretty
cheap, given the massive move to digital alternatives, so would
probably pick up a machine there.
3) I'm looking to project an image that would be roughly 8ft x 12ft.
To do this effectively, is there a minimum wattage I'd need to
consider? I'm assuming given this size that I'd also need to get a
better-than-standard lense as well, but any points of view on this
would be of interest.
Thanks,
Gus
