Leipster Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 We have a Guerrilla projection campaign that runs 14th -16th March in New York. Our supplier in the US has decided at the last minute they cannot supply equipment nor projectionists. Has anyone got any contacts in New York who can can supply a minimum of 2 x Sanyo PLC XF47's, 6KVa super silent generator or a single Christie 20K DLP projector or similar Barco with appropriate silent generator. Also looking for one projectionist who is based in New York and looking to take one projectionist from the UK. Thanks, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerry davies Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I wonder why they want someone else to provide the equipment? Oh dear, how sad, never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It can be done semi-legally, at least in the UK, if you have permission from the building owner and the local authority - though plenty of paperwork is then involved. Alternatively you can just keep a lookout for trouble, close the van doors and drive off, but the police and/or local planning authority can take a dim view, especially if it's advertising. If it's "art" then they seem to be less bothered as long as you aren't causing an obstruction or projecting onto people's windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason5d Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 We do a lot of this kind of thing and we have bright projectors. We can't help on this occasion but please contact us in future about any other projects u might have. we use a mini bus and drive around to locations with the projector and generator ready set up inside the vehicle. This saves on set up time and is ideal to avoid "issues with the fuzz" by the time they show up we're long gone Here are some pictures of some Guerrilla Projections we did in London for the banking crisis, we were very pleased with bottom one. we found the main issues were set up time and finding a good spot to locate the projector vehicle.In the past the police have turned up, with no idea about the legality of what we were doing. The legality is somewhat unclear mainly because it is legal - a couple of issues include the parking spot and if the building you are projecting on is listed you need planning permission. http://www.5dg.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pig-web.jpg http://www.5dg.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/pig-on-bank-of-england-e1362874488417.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 When considering the legality (or otherwise) please be careful about jurisdiction. The OP is off to New York, and the cops there carry guns as a matter of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian H Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I will be in NY from the 20th playing with Barco C5 ---- if you need somebody to post Bail.... You could try VER in NY but I don think your project would meet their requirements www.VERrents.com Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
