| Summary: | [Randy Fisk], who started his Web site to document the making of his outdoor theater, has a 12-foot screen mounted permanently 17 feet above his 1.5-acre property, with prime viewing from his deck located about 25 feet from the screen. On movie nights, spectators actually get to "feel" the movie thanks to the "shakers" Fisk mounted to the deck to make it vibrate along with explosions and crashes on the screen. Fisk's big screen has been a hit with his wife and their teenage children. And, fortunately for Fisk, "the neighbors love it." "It used to be the geeks working with projectors," Fisk said, laughing. Now he said projectors and their operators are getting a little more respect. "It's not an oddball piece of equipment. ... The vast majority think it's pretty cool." |
