The building I chose is a fairly narrow and has two floors, so the projector is going to be turned sideways. Its bottom therefore needs to be lined up with the left edge of the building, and roughly mid height, which means that it has to be placed in the left second floor window of the building across the street, which luckily has a clear view of the façade. The image of the building projected on the building itself has to line up perfectly with the architectural features, so the original image has to be as perfectly proportioned and undistorted as possible. The high power projectors allow more adjustments than the ordinary ones basic key stoning, but we will not be able to test the show beforehand, so I will shot the best possible photo from the middle second floor window across the street, measure the building, and make sure all the proportions are as accurate as possible, so when an image of the façade is projected over the façade itself, there is no misalignment of the architectural lines.
Another problem is the fact that the woodwork of the doors and windows is painted black, and would interfere with the images projected, so I am planning to cover it with beige low tack masking tape. The glass windows can be blocked out with beige paper on the inside. The two doors are recessed, and will cause some shadows to be cast, so I am debating whether to use flat foam panels covered with muslin lined up with the big middle store window.
There are also 4 small trees in planters in front of the building that should be temporarily removed.
