Heh, that's the same photo I used to reference the backlighting yesterday.

I wasn't really trying to be physically accurate; I didn't even have a light
back there before, just an emissive projector lens. So for the backlighting I
placed a small area light in front of the lens, in a light group with the chairs
and kids, and tried various intensities until I thought it popped enough
(artistic license and all that).

I'm making a few more tweaks including: better clothing textures, the
"projection" of the "movie" in the window glass (thanks Edouard), dialed down
lens flare, and a slightly emissive aoi cone to simulate a bit of projector beam
(although you can't see much of it from my camera angle). I'll post an updated
(final?) shot later today.

Cheers,
Rob
