large backlit for a backdrop but curved?

[mrbid]

Not sure how to do this let alone where I could go to get it made.

clients idea for a back drop behind reception area he said he like a large CURVED backlit

never anything specific yet. but I think he wants something 5' to 10' tall by 8'to 14' wide.

Is this possible and how
and who can help.

sounds like a fun project.

I believe one of our members here does just this type of work. Can't remember who, but perhaps a "bump" will help keep this in view.

here they are. Perhaps they can give you some pointers.

Flex-face (canvas) clip-mounted to custom-built aluminum frame (curve) capped over LED/Flourescant lighting mounted to the wall (illumination).

verify your client's budget, gonna cost em a couple grand.
can always offer a wall mural with indirect lighting options, as well.

Or fabric with silicone bead sewn in and inserted into preformed curved structure with channel for bead to sit in

Bulk Lexan on a roll. Cut your piece(s). Either direct flatbed print then back-spray translucent white. Or print on back-lit vinyl and apply to face. Or reverse print on clear apply to second surface then lam with trans white. Last option is very durable.
Will be super rigid and hold a nice curve without too much effort.

I second the Lexan face in a curved frame. Heavy but sturdy and generally easy to pull off.

+1 lexan, i like that better than flex face AND its less of a headache for same style of framing.

Best thing I can think of is some radiused aluminum framing wrapped in aluminum with a lexan face, led lit.
