DIY Projector Screen

[Howse]

Just wondering if anyone has made their own projector screen. Would be interested if you could share what method you used.



Thanks

Don't large sheets of white card/paper (from art stores or WH Smiths) fixed to the wall with Blue-tak work quite well ?



Have you tried this?

We used to use white lining wallpaper and some drawing pins.

Hi,

In my opinion it's not worth messing around with card or bed sheets when you can get old Cine film screens for pennies (auction rooms, auction sites,boot sales,second hand shops etc.)

They will not be widescreen format, but most projectors have a format choice anyway. You will see such a difference on a proper screen!



All the best,



Chris.

You could try artist's canvases (mounted), available from THE WORKS discount bookstores.

Two large ones would be ideal for a widescreen setup.....

I bought my material from a cine dealer. The material was called 'Pearlux Lenticular' which had a silver coated screen and pocketed in lenticular segments. This was excellent for home movies as it produced an apparent brightness over other methods. I used to make my films in 'Scope' so every bit of available light was needed. The firm below apparently make them but only in matt white. Good hunting.
