yes, indeed, its called Tulle in french and its a front screen
im using ofently Gerriets products, they speak french, german, and certainly english: http://www.gerriets.com/fr/
you can have a look of differences of a White Gobelin Model Tulle with different lightings, and its appearance and disappearance on this video:
i would not recommend to use white color unless you don’t have black in your visuals, cause white eats up all your contrast, grey is good compromise, for black you need triple power of your projector/s comparing to normal cyclo screen. be careful- without tensioning set up all nets look awful
if you specifies you needs i can give you more info
the video i have setted in link is a white gobelin tulle.
making it transparent depends of contrast, ambiant lighting, angles and reflexion
grey is uselly a better compromise. But you will fight with power of video projector, and light designer ;-)
Nice link btw :)
So if you want to avoid extra imaging behind the tulle would you usually have some kind of blackout material, or just try to manage this with the projection angle?
I am interested in experimenting with some transparent drapes too and I am kind of lost where to start. I understand that in order to identify the appropriate type you need to know specific (colors of projection, angle, projection strenght etc).
Is there any reading material anywhere?
Also, can anyone give me an approximate prices for these things? I am either blind or none of the website gives prices!
And to keep things simple, what you would guys recommend for an all-purpose, affordable tulle for experimentation (color, type)?
