[SML] Supertitles Screen brainstorming

[PJ Veltri]

Bruce, 

To make the pipe you have work could you hang pipes off of it at the ends that would put the legs at the right trim when the screen is appropriately trimmed?

Personally, I think it will be too big, but thats what they want. Part of the reason MAY be that that’s the smallest the Digital Cinema projector will zoom. Also, as Dave said, the 12’ length on a 44’ wide proscenium and not hold enough text.
