8 circular screens and modul8. Best approach?

[VJ BLOCTV]

Hi,

I've got a gig coming up where I will be using 8 circular screens, 4 on each side of the stage in a 2x2 arrangement, 1 projector for each set of 4. My plan is to set everything up, take a photo of the screens from the projectors point of view and create masks in PS, as per DV's tutorial. I'm feeding the projectors from modul8 via a dh2g (I need my other laptop for the screen at the rear of the stage) so will use a mask on each side of the 8:3 output.

So my question is, is this the best approach or can anyone suggest a solution that would be easier or produce better results? Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers

*tip*

combine the IUA circle plugin with a mask to allow the channel switching / combining goodness of the circle plugin with all your other layer combining types such as keying ect
