PLAYing with perspex

I've worked with frosted perspex in the past and have always loved the effect it has when you shine light through it. For this reason I wanted to experiment projecting my footage through it. Here's how it looked. . .

The nice thing about using frosted perspex is the almost 3D quality it can give to the image. When projecting the footage onto the perspex the projector focuses on the frosted but light from the image travels through the perspex and onto the surface behind. As you move the frosted perspex further away from the wall the image appears to hang within the perspex.

As you can see in the video above using this material also allows you to manipulate the image. By holding the perspex at different angles we can make the footage bend or make part of it appear closer to us.
