OUTDOOR CINEMA

A video projector can give you a true cinema-like experience at home. So why not plan a cinema night this summer with some friends. 

I am thinking an outdoor experience, with quilts on the grass, a couple of tents pitched or return to childhood with some make-shift tee-pee's made with a couple of flat bed sheets. 

 

You will need:

 
A projector/ surround sound
Laptop
A plain bed sheet for a screen
Extension cable

Tents etc....(you decide)

Food

Popcorn

Hotdogs

Cheat burgers (already prepared)

Nachos and cheese topped with chilli

Mulled wine to keep off the chill

Choice bar !!! maybe cocktails and some beers. 

Ideally, you want as dark a space as possible in which to use a   projector, just as with a cinema.

 

Doing this outside, is quite easy.  Hang your sheet on a wall or secure it on the garden fence with pegs.  

Run your extension wire in a safe manner, so you have enough leverage to manoeuvre so it can project properly. 

Please cover your projector and laptop !!! I don't want to say this but...here goes !! RAIN, :(

 

Food and drinks ready, popcorn popping, quilts spread, tents secured...ENJOY
