Projecting through the blades of an electric fan is also worth trying. If, by varying the speeds of either or both, the two can be made to run "in phase," the action will appear very mechanical and people will walk like toy dolls on the screen. This experiment requires considerable precision and may not work satisfactorily without a bit of experimenting. All these things require moving the projector from place to place which may be facilitated by setting up your equipment on top of a tea wagon. It can then be wheeled all about the room with great ease. It is a well known fact that a transparent colored substance placed in the path of the projected image produces the same results as tinting the celluloid base of the film. Several devices employing sheets of divers colored gelatine are now on the market and are used extensively for producing tinted effects. There is a distinct difference between "tinting" and "toning" a film. "Tinting" as generally understood, means dyeing the gelatine base of the film with an even color. The resultant screen image appears black plus that color. The same result is obtained artificially by the method just described. "Toning" a film generally signifies dyeing the image in such a manner that the metallic silver takes on a color and the gelatine base of the film remains white. The resultant screen image is white plus the color of the toning. Toned effects may likewise be created artificially, not by intercepting the projected beam by a color filter but by projecting an independent beam of colored light on the screen. This illuminates the blacks in color but will not affect the whites. At first thought this might seem a contradiction, but experiment will prove it to be the case. This is because the blacks of the projected image on the screen merely represent absence of light. So when the colored light falls on these unilluminated places, it is really falling on the white screen minus other illumination and the blacks therefore take on the color of the light. The white light of the projector is so powerful, however, that it "dilutes" the color until it is invisible on the whites of the image, unless the colored light be of very great intensity. This can be easily demonstrated by throwing a colored light on a white screen in daylight. The color will be nearly invisible unless the daylight is very dull or the projected light very strong.
