I wonder if this would work, and if so would there be a market for it...
To make a background for photos, take a projector that has video
inputs and shine it on the background. It wouldn't be bright enough
to not get washed out by strobes, so replace the halogen bulb with a
strobe. You'd need a modeling bulb for it, but it wouldn't need to
be as bright as the regular bulb used in those projectors.
It would also be handy as flash that had it's own built in gels, of
any color you wanted, as well as it's own gobo (up to the contrast
ratio of the LCD).
I wonder what it would cost to make one, and how much of a market
there would be for them.

And all this is yours for a measly $4,400-$9,700 greenbacks. I love the
belittling comment that "any amateur can take snaps in the park". :)
But at least we know the tech has been worked out. I guess this blows
your chances for securing a patent, Larry. But if you could do it for
cheaper, there just might be a market.
