ABSTRACT:
An image projection kit and a imagery content distribution system and method. In one aspect, the invention is a kit for projecting imagery content onto architecture comprising: a projector apparatus comprising a housing containing an image sensor sub-system and an image projector subsystem, a single-reflex lens assembly in operable cooperation with the image sensor sub-system and the image projector sub-system, at least one port for receiving and/or sending data signals, and a processor operably connected to the image sensor sub-system, the image projector sub-system and the at least one port of the projector apparatus; a mechanism for mounting the projector apparatus in a fixed orientation having a line a sight to the architecture; a control unit comprising a housing, at least one port for receiving and/or sending data signals and a processor operably connected to the at least one port of the control unit; and a software package for installation on a computer, the software package containing computer code for rendering a composition window on the computer wherein a map corresponding to the architecture can be created, the map comprising at least one matte whose image is projected onto a surface of the architecture, and wherein the size, shape, position, orientation, or any combination thereof of the at least one matte can be adjusted within the composition window so that the projected image of the matte corresponds with the surface of the architecture.
