They make it work.

For Bryan Adam’s 1999-2001 worldwide tour, the musician’s lighting designer envisioned covering the stage with abstract, kinetic imagery during each performance. Typically, this type of presentation requires cumbersome projection equipment that would take up at least 8x8’ of space. However, the band didn’t have the luxury of that amount of room.
They hired BL&S, who designed a system utilizing a 10,000 watt light source rotated so that it pointed straight up, using a mirror to reflect the image back onto the stage. Rotating the film projection upward resulted in a system that was compact enough to occupy theatre space behind the sound console while still providing a very bright image.
Throughout the tour, the audience enjoyed a unique concert experience, with colors “dancing” across the stage in unison with the music.
