Greetings and Salutations,
I've moved back to Chicago from Las Vegas and am attending Flashpoint Academy for Film. The school has, knowing that I am a magician, approached me with a unique project, and I wanted to get some suggestions. The school is in its first year and has acquired a new piece of property off of the main campus. The layout would be amazing, if not for one ugly cement column directly in the line of sight of the immense hallway. It is to become a studio space, and the first thing one sees when getting off the elevator on to this particular floor is this nasty pillar. So... they've been considering different things they want to project onto something that will fill the space, and had mentioned a free floating cube that would be the "canvas" for the projections. Not limiting yourself to floating objects, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to adapt some form of illusion onto or in the are around this pole to make it a thing of beauty and wonder as opposed to it's current state. I've been researching black art, and various theatrical techniques, but alas I am aware that although I might get lucky and come up with something that looks kind of neat by myself, I realize that nobody can't use some help and I would be grateful to anyone who would be kind enough to make any suggestions. Once I get pictures from the developers I will post them to give you a better idea. Thank you always, Danny Crook

There are lots of ways of doing something like this, but it totally depends on what's really there. From your description I'm guessing that it's a structural column and not a leftover piece of decor from the previous tenant, but then again why would a structural column have been placed in such a line of sight?
Can you post a photo of the column as seen from the elevator and other spaces?
