Drew Colby is attempting to break the existing world record for the largest projected shadow by projecting a hand shadow onto the largest cinema screen in Britain.
In order to break the largest projected shadow record he has to make a shadow measuring more than 16m x 9m, for which purpose he is aiming to project onto the IMAX cinema screen in London (UK) which measures 19.8 metres high by 25.9 metres wide. The cost to hire the cinema is £2000.00 (plus VAT) for one hour.
He started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds towards the hire cost. The target amount has now been reached! Watch this space for details of the event date, time and online live streaming details.
