Projection at the event got off to a bad start when RAG failed to budget anything for hire of equipment to do it with. Many bold plans were hatched to rig a large screen onto the side of Central Hall to give maximum impact, however costs, lack of a suitable projector and lack of time to design and assemble it conspired against this, and at one point it looked like we might once again be without live event output. However [[Drew Perry]] kindly loaned us a pair of 1800 Lumen projectors, and RAG found 50 to cover the hire of a screen from YSL. YSTV paid another 50 to ship the projectors back to Drew, having used them for [[Birthday Party|YSTV 40]] the following week.
Paired up on the same screen the projectors gave us a reasonable brightness, however it was obviously not going to compete outdoors with no shade until well into the evening. The last-minute decision was taken to cram the 6'x7' screen into the dining hall, and feed the indoor stage mix onto it. This ran for the whole duration of the indoor stage, proving surprisingly visible in the dining hall even with sunlight coming in the windows. After the indoor stage ended, the screen and projectors were then transferred to the outdoor stage, where thanks to good weather we were able to erect the screen in the open on a pair of Ents wind-up stands (suitably ratchet-strapped to the ground), with the projectors in a pile of flight cases back-projecting onto the screen. This provided live output from 9:30pm until the event finished.
