Jay Weidner, who has worked in the film industry himself, stresses that this hiding of the bottom of
the Scotchlite backdrop is always necessary when using the front screen projection system, and it
serves as a telltale sign of its employment. Weidner proceeds to show images from the Apollo

shading and coloration. It is also helpful for the photo shoot director to place large objects just in
front of the edge of the stage to make it more difficult to detect.
