Here's an idea that Cafn8ed, Cariann and I had while looking at the set... What if we change out the main black curtain for white (which we already have) and project a giant animation on that (maybe a slow moving Earth)? We think that may solve the black hole of nothingness problem we have on the set right now.
The second problem we have is that the camera 2 shot is just too wide. This is happening because we have two 50" plasmas in the shot. The solution might be to put those on stands but have them mounted vertically rather than horizontally. This would end up pulling the shot in quite a bit and making everything closer.
There is of course cost to all this. Each plasma mount will be around $600.00 and then we have to buy a projector to get the image on the back wall and that could be an additional $3,000 or so (depends on what we get). I can demo the projector part just to see if it works, but the mounts we will pretty much need to commit to.
What do you guys think? I know I can't show you yet, but using your imagination do you think this would make the set a bit more... fun? Make it more active so it doesn't look like we're broadcasting from a basement? Thoughts?
