Ok probably not the "biggest", but here's the story. We're having a BBQ for my 4yr old nephew on Friday, and we have a decent sized yard with a large, kinda wierd apartment building on one side that is owned by a family friend. My nephew is a bit advanced and is huge into Star Wars right now, so we're having a Star Wars themed party.
Earlier I was digging out my PA system for some tunes for the party, and came across a video projector my friend suckered me into buying. Mind you this isn't you're boss' portable Infocus *evil grin*.
Anyhow I had this bright idea that it would be so cool to have the attract mode of the Star Wars game projected onto a wall, so I dragged the projector out, and for kicks just aimed it out the window at the apartment building. Fired up Mame, fired up the projector, and my jaw hit the floor. The picture..was the size of the ENTIRE apartment building.
Anyhow so as to not scare/annoy or otherwise cause his one tenant to call the cops over strange colors in the window, I had to scale it down as small as I could get it, which was about a 30 ft picture. I tried to take a pic with my camera but it was tough to pick up in the dark. The bright light you see...is his storm door window, to put things in perspective. If you look hard you can see the roof line.
It looks very dim in the picture, but trust me, it was very very visible
Lastly - if anyone can point me at a youtube vid, or downloadable vid, or dvd, or whatever, of a Star Wars light show, laser show, etc that has a black background, PLEEEASE let me know! I'm going to coordinate with the neighbors and suprise him
