Advanced techniques include rolling scenery, polarization effects and polor motion. We've used it in creating shadow sequences in our shows. You can get it at P of A's Puppetry Store. Go to www.puppeteers.org and click on the Puppetry Store. The bonus is there are activities for different ages that can be used in presenting children's workshops. We have several different overheads. Look for high lumens (3000 or more) and the quick change bulb feature. One that folds is nice. You can find projectors at office supply stores, as well as the transparency film for your printer. Colors on the transparency often look different when projected, so buy a big box to allow for mistakes. At the Center for Puppetry Arts, they were using mirrors behind the projectors to double their focal length. The projectors were aimed at the mirrors, which reflected onto the shadow screen. Our favorite screen is the grey rear projection cloth. The grey was recommended as the material to work best when there is ambient light and it works very well. We use the screen to project scenery while lighting rod or hand puppets at an angle from the front, as well as operating shadows on the overhead. Good luck an have fun!

The first is what kind of overhead projectors people personally prefer. The second is what are some great resources for learning about contemporary shadow puppet production that people can recommend. Oh, and another, while I am at it, a good place in NYC to have transparencies printed. Okay, I think that is it for now.
