Yes, I agree, Alex.
I mention the problems more based on the concerns that anyone reading along, using the set-up, runs into trouble and blames the set-up.
For any projection, especially practical-camera-projection, the position where the lens (nodal point) is the main key. Since it is always a point light source, even shifted, the projection from that point can be adjusted (shifted, rotated, “zoomed”). I hope I make sense here. I refer to a presentation where people used parallel projection for camera project to simulate the practical set up, which can only fail.
Again, I try not to be right here or nit-pick. It is more like a label “your results might vary!”
During my light-show time, I did 135 gigs/concerts with a full truck-load of lights, including ten slid projectors. Most of them were specialized (color oil, polarization, etc.). I had to adapt to many stages and spaces, so I have a passion for this work
Thanks for your input.
Cheers
