The Wizard of Oz backdrop animation

Looking for projections for your production of The Wizard of Oz? We have them!

There are 11 animated and static backdrops to choose from - just pick the ones you need.

Here's what's available:

	Windy Kansas sepia, animated loop Fast-moving clouds and tumbleweed, just before the twister
	Inside the Tornado sepia, animated loop Dust flying across the screen
	Twister sepia, animated Twister moves slowly stage right to stage left with Dorothy's house rotating around it
	Poppies animated Poppies rotate and fade in from black
	Snowflakes animated loop Poppies fade and snowflakes fall.
	Towards the Emerald City Emerald City from a distance with a rainbow over it
	Gates of the Emerald City animated Gates with 'OZ' plate up 'OZ' plate slides down to reveal the guard 'Bell out of order - Please knock' sign appears magically over the door Transitions can be cued separately; the OZ plate slides down to reveal a black circle, through which your Guard can be seen, so this only works if the actor can go behind the projection screen and be seen through it. You can opt for the second and third stages of this slide to be left out.
	Outside the Witch's Castle Castle built from large grey blocks, and a portcullis
	In the Forest animated In the forest with the castle in the background and "I'd turn back if I were you..." sign in foreground Monkeys fly from castle across moon in silhouete Monkeys fly down into forest in silhouette Monkeys fly out of forest carrying Dorothy Zooms in to castle and fades to black Transitions can be cued separately
	Oz's Balloon animated Balloon sitting on the ground Balloon flies off Transitions can be cued separately
	Twister Back to Kansas sepia, animated Twister moves slowly stage left to stage right with Dorothy's house rotating around it

What do I need?

You'll need a Windows computer with a reasonably fast processor and at least 2GB of memory. You'll also need a projector running at a resolution of 1024x768. The projection runs as a full-screen Flash application cued on the keyboard. If you want to check that the slides will work with your computer, you can download and run this sample. It should run smoothly at 1024x768 in full-screen mode (press Ctrl+F).

So, how much?

If you're staging an amateur (community) or school production, there's a base cost of £10 ($15.68) and each slide is an additional £10. So for 6 slides, you pay £70 ($109.73) . Simple!

If you're restaging an amateur or school production with the same group and the same set of slides, you get a 50% discount. So to use the same six slides again, you pay £35 ($54.86) .

Please contact me for pricing for professional productions.
