Do you know what lumens these projectors were?
Is it only static images? Why not moving?
Nice though!!

About 2 months ago I drove out into the middle of goddddaaaaamn nowhere to do a party up in the woods. I was cranky as crap after having spent 4 hours getting there, about 2hours of which was because of poor signage and directions. To cap things off, when I got there I had requested that some sort of screen be setup ahead of time, even if it meant a big sheet, or the wall of a tent. Instead, I got a bunch of stretch lycra strips in a pattern that were not very big and were in a really bad place to try and hit with a projector (would have had to have it on the dance floor). Also, there was hardly any lighting going on. After about half an hour of fooling around with trying to hit parts of tents and stuff, I decided to go for the trees. So, I backed up and shot my 3k projector up on the huge pine trees above the DJ tent. I used lots of contrasted imagery, and stuck with bold, primary colors and put a soft, circular faded alpha crop on the output so that I didn't have a square edge. The best part was when I realized that if you look at it roughly head on from the dance floor, it formed an image, but if you walked sideways it would break up into a 3d terrain map of the tree as it was hitting different high points when you saw it from the other orientation. I pointed this out to a couple of people, and they shared it with other people and for the rest of the night I saw people walking side to side to get the effect.
My favorite thing ever to play on trees is Maya Deren's "The Very Eye of Night" She filmed a dance troupe and reversed out the imagery so the figures are white on a starfield. They dance and form various constellations. Looks amazing on trees. The key is to really play with the blank space and what you do project will float instead of laying there flat.
Drank a bottle of wine and played on the trees and it made up for the whole driving ordeal.

When I first tested my 2600-lumen projectors out of the window of my old apartment, I realized if I aimed across the cul-de-sac I could easily read the projector logo and see the edges of the image. This was at 80 feet away about.

I figure with something in the range of 5k with minimal additional lighting, proper angle, and a good amount of tree-density, it would look really cool, -especially as an addition to two typical screens on either side of a stage.

Never underestimate how much you lose from the ambient light of streetlights and other stuff.
That night there was cloudcover with stars peeping through, but no moon and no lights for miles around. A 3k in a city park wouldn't necessarily cut it, but out in the country it was great. I think everyones eyes even adjust down.

....sometimes getting there is half the fun (adventure).... meaning that anyone who made it, was D oh double-U N.... which always helps the vibe... which I can't help but mention, either makes or breaks a party... no matter where you're at...

peace

dont know the exact science behind it, but i always remember a Dp on a film site telling me the best way to light a building atmosherically was to light the surrounding trees as they reflect light really well.
