In order to test how the projection looks as I work on the show, I built a large scale plywood model of the façade of the Alys Stephens Center. The scale is 1:12, or 1ft = 1".
I primed it white, then painted it colors matching the actual colors as best I could. I will use the same fabric to make stretched panels for the openings, and hanging panels for the large brick area.
I tested projecting on it with an image taken from the entrance to the parking lot, roughly where the projectors are going to be for the show, onto which I added a bright color grid lined up with the different blocks of architecture, and a partially made up brightly colored fantasy image:
As expected, the protruding area of the entrance do not line up, nor the curve. We may have to adjust that. But as long as we place the projectors the exact place the original reference picture will be taken, things should line up on the actual building.
