I went into the cinema this afternoon, a little early for the film.
There were maybe twenty or thirty other people there, which
swelled to perhaps fifty before anything started. The lights were
dim (but not fully lowered), and everyone was just waiting
around.
It occurred to me, before the
lights went off and the trailers and
adverts started, that I was sitting, anonymously, in front of a huge
and well-made empty screen, on which only the blank stares of
the
audience were being projected.
If I had had my Ninja Projector Pack in my rucksack, I could have
projected any movie of my choice during that time.
Needless to say, there is a risk that this kind of thinking would
lead
to an arms-race, eventually culminating in audience-artists
projecting humourous additional features onto the performers
during
the fillum itself. MaxCo would not, of course, endorse this kind of
behaviour.

Of course this would be a silent movie. Black and white, but mostly black. |

Haven't advertisers over there discovered this screen face-time yet? |

Apparently not. For maybe 15 minutes, there were a group
of targetable demographics who were, astonishingly, not
being advertised at. |

If your movie featured mimes in black and white, and someone were secretly camcordering your projection and then uploading it to the internet, would a tree fall on the box containing the poison vial and kill the mime? |
|

That depends on what you mean by "if". |
|
| |
This is way better than the million candle flashlight hand shadows I usually do. |
|

It's likely that your Ninja Projector Pack would be
insufficiently powerful to project an image covering
the entire screen, so I see this idea giving scope for
maybe a dozen people to independently project a
scene or a character onto a screen. |

And so, as we bid farewell to the Mars Climate Orbiter... |

[+] and why limit it to empty theatre screens? There are plenty of blank walls indoors and outdoors... |

It doesn't and you could. |
