Hi all,
I have painted my ceiling mat black. I thought this would help contrast from my projector and help suck you into the picture. Problem is I can see light reflections on my ceiling extending from above the screen about 8 feet towards the seating area. I have low ceilings, about 8 1/2 feet high. What can I do to reduce this affect? I thought of the following ideas:
1. Install a back carpet covering in the area boardered by molding.
2. See if I could find black velvet wallpaper. Or have an accousting pannel built the approx size and have it installed?

I am looking for the most effective, but least costly way to reduce the light. Any thoughts?

thx,
Jim

Velvet covered panel hung from the ceiling?

where can I find this?

You would have to make it. Get some of the black velvet, make a wood frame to stretch it tight and hang it.

What brand paint did you use?

Foam board might be a good choice. It is lightweight and easy to cut w/o power tools. Just wrap with your choice of blackhole material and hang.

You could try a flat black paint as well, otherwise, velvet type black fabric would probably would be your best bet.

Velvet is the closest to a black hole you will get ala Darinp's theater. It is disorienting in fact.:cool:

Another good choice is black head liner like in your car? also since it has foam backing it is a bit easier to work with gluing it to the ceiling.
