Very Happy With BFLF - Thanks MMan/PB - Page 2

I've been aware of this product fer a spell, but aghast at it's expense as well as it's application considerations.
At that price, you can buy a 9' diagonal MIrror, Black Flame mix, Rollers & Tray, Black Velvet, and Trim.
I'd think dealing with Mylar would be far more practical.
My 2 cents.

MYNYM,

I have a question about the paint steps, you said 5 coats of 1:1:1 upw,poly,water as a base over the mdf.
Then, did you apply the BASE Components next and then apply the (2.0 oz) Color Components over it all?
How do you get the 2oz of color coat to cover the screen?

I have an Infocus 4805. I spent a few hours calibrating it using my neighbors calibration DVD. When I finsished I saved the settings. I flipped back and forth between the out of the box settings and the calibrated settings and they were so similar I didn't even bother to record the calibrated settings.

If I recall correctly you are in the Dayton, OH area, right?

I would be interested in seeing your screen to do a quick comparison with a strip of Polywall that I have, and maybe with a bit of fabric that I have available as well.

PM me if you are interested.

I see you have your projector setup again.
Would you be able to do a quick comparison shot for me by showing an image half on the screen and half on the wall in ambient light ?

Strange how this request is being quietly ignored...

How embarrasing!

.....and here we all was a thinking ya had supthin' ta hide...., or mebe nuthin' ta show.

But how very thoughtless and inconsiderate of you for having other things to do!

OK, then. We're even. Right?

I'm kidding of course. But usually and eventially everýone sits both sides of the fence. first "searchin for answers and decisions", then on to "doing/done it". Then others in the "SFAAD" dept. (...can be very impatiant when anxious for info....) want info and effort akin to the levels that I dispense.

......and I can't always get back to or initiate plans as promised either. Sometimes to a fault.

Giving a person his BOTD (benifit of the doubt) due often fall away to one just "doubt" when excitement / expectation rise.

Well I've been to and from that Well over a couple 100's times and even when freely helping, the choosing of what to do and when isn't alway governed bythe schedules of others.

Instead I must hope for understanding...., and usually I get it. But not always. :sad:

And so we come to see that the Author has bigger plans afoot as far as comparisons are concerned.

I'll wait for all that, done nicely.

Why is it embarassing? mynym stated by the end of last week. What's wrong with following up? No expectations, just plain old asking wha happened.

And on that note MM, how are you making our for next week's comparison?

Troy (north of Dayton) ... I might be out your way for a Buckeyes game this fall ... and quite possibly August 19th (a Saturday)

I WAS kidding, but if you want to disect it, the comment "Strange how this request is being "ignored" doesn't speak of anything but a mild 'bait', not a "question". But it WAS mild enough to rate a "tongue in cheek" response.

Butcha know, it really wasn't anything worth carrying forward after my reference to it being a joke..

As for next week, I'll most likely do the smaller task I mentioned. The larger endeavor must wait until after my surgery and upcoming trips (Late Aug/early Sept.)

I live in Columbus(New Albany) also and if you and gonelong set up a time this Saturday... I would love to come check your screen out. I believe I sent a PM a long time ago, but with no reply. I'm in the process of making a few screens and any help from someone who has already done it would be great.

mynym,

Any chance you can post those half wall, half screen, screen shots in ambient light sometimes soon?

Many are very anxious to see the results.

I would like to see them as well.

Yawn. As I just stated in another post, I don't think we're going to be seeing many more comparison pictures. Oh well.

Awww......,
That was just 'ol "me" talkin' again.

He get's a round.

honestly, it would only take minute? You seem to have plenty of time to post "other" pics?

Still waiting.

Is there a step by step writeup to duplicate this badboy? I have a cave setup, but my parents use their H27 on a white screen and have ambient light almost all of the time, with the room lit almost all the time. Its 10% of the time in the dark, so this looks like a great solution to their problem. Thanks!

Another post and no pictures?? Whazzzzz uppppp?

just a guess, but i'd say that the picture requests aren't gonna happen.

You are a wise person Dogllama. I can tell just from your name!

DOG
I guess we will have to settle for your BFLF comparison screen shots

Things are getting a bit suspicious. This same thread was started over at the Lumenlab forums. Same pictures, same questions, same no answers.

hey thanks for living up to your word!

not to rain on the parade though, could we get some more pics? this time head on?

you can't really get a good idea of things when the pictures are taken from an angle, it messes with the lighting (which should be pretty even over your test area if you are to get an accurate idea of the picture)

also, not to harp, but can you throw something besides animation up for the tests, animation looks good on everything because its CG.

the best pictures to show while testing are pretty evenly distrubuted throughout the entire frame, like a establishing shot, or a landscape. something that has the same color and brightness showing over all the test frames.

thanks!
