Call me nuts here, but.....

Why not just use white fabric and on the night project a coloured image?

No painting nor effort required......?

I'm not sure I would be able to put the projector somewhere out of the way to be able to do this. It is after all going to be the Masquerade...

we have had projectors as part of the masquerade decorations before--so it is doable.

If I was painting that I would definitely do it with black and yellow paint on white calico. There is a lot more white/light space on there than black.

As a bonus, if you don't do much painting that will be much easier for your brain to get around than trying to do the negatives.

It's also a LOT harder to paint white onto black vs black onto white.

Also, depending on the size, you may want to look at the Rasterbator.

Which reminds me, babalon_93 I think you still owe me a picture of an eye :-)

you're going to have to refresh my memory about the eye, because I am all out of spare memory sectors atm--but the rasterbator is awesome!

that does remind me though, snap printing in applecross printed me up huge A0 black and white prints enlarged from an A4 for a play I was doing a few years ago on their plotter printer. They were under $5 each.
