That's an interesting idea! You can already do that by just moving back and forth, all you need is to project the image flat and know when to turn. I will try that next, thanks for mentioning it! Do you have any particular ideas on what would be cool to try?

Maybe you could have it beep in a certain pattern or pitch to cue you as to when you should be turning in a certain direction. My first thought was that with something like this (https://www.stavros.io/posts/behold-ledonardo/wings-small.jpg https://www.stavros.io/posts/behold-ledonardo/wings-small.jp...), it would be cool to walk around the subject and have the "wings" actually furl AROUND them rather than simply in front of them, though that might take some choreography to make sure that your own shadow doesn't affect the image too much. Another thing that I thought was that if you can also selectively turn on only portions of the bar, you could effectively create "windows" in the portrait as you did with the other set of wings (https://www.stavros.io/posts/behold-ledonardo/alexandra-small.jpg https://www.stavros.io/posts/behold-ledonardo/alexandra-smal...), which could work really well with something 3D-ish, where you can see through one part of the lights to a different background also generated by the lights.

  Ahh, yes, these are great. You can easily do them now, they just take some choreography and specially crafted images. The shadow isn't much of a problem if you walk fast enough and aren't lit, since you're mostly behind the lit bar, which drowns you out anyway. I'll play a bit with the window idea, feel free to follow me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/stavroskorok/ https://www.instagram.com/stavroskorok/ if you want to see the progress (I post all photography-related doings there).
