Context: Bill Hansard, CEO and Operational Director of Hansard Enterprises, Inc. (Culver City, CA), has seen the advantages of rear projection during production of over 300 feature films, 500 television shows, and 5,000 commercials: 'With rear projection you have the advantage of the actors and crew seeing what is beside them, behind them, or around them. The actors can interact naturally with what is in the background. The crew can do interactive lighting with confidence since they can also see the background. Most importantly, you see in the dailies [next-day film viewing] on the large screen exactly what the scene will look like.'
