[SML] Projecting onto reflecive servises

[dale]

Yes, it was a huge pita.   They sell spray cans of dulling agent you can spritz onto shiny surfaces.    Things like hair spray were suggested, but it was very difficult to clean back off when tested.   
We took an air paint spray gun and sprayed a thinned mixture of uncolored and unscented dish detergent on the mirrors.  Low liquid high air volumes so the spray was mostly dry by the time it landed on the glass.   Four or five thin coats and it was around 50% frost equivelant.  Need good air evacuation to keep it from building up on the floor, or damp mop with clear water.  Mask off surrounding surfaces just like you were spray painting. 
Cleanup was just wiping with clean water until all the detergent was gone.

Subject: [SML] Projecting onto reflecive servises 




For the upcoming productions the directors has asked about projecting a sky
scene onto the back wall that is covered with mirrors. In an effort to cut back
on possible glare, the idea of covering the mirrors with a defusser of some sort
came up.  Another idea that was thrown out was putting a gel of some sort
in front of projector.
 
Question # 1  Has any tried projecting onto mirrors?
 
Question # 2 IF you have, how did you deal with glare?
 
Thank you in advance.
