How is this Projector effect done?
Is this just a projector setup and the person has just cut the lines out side the body (background) and changed it to black? https://www.flickr.com/photos/nolasam/1 … wE2-8b5x36 Dec 15 16 09:09 pm Link VisualVandals wrote: Definitely a projector. It's off to the right and down from centre (You can see by the shadow of her hand and arm).

There is no black as black as no light on the background from miles away. Alternatively, and almost as black, use a black fabric background 30 feet behind said model.

I'm attempting to make sure that the OP understands that the photo that he linked to was done with an actual projector.
