While this site mostly focuses on audio, but here are links to other folks who do lots with projection.
Bay area people, we have projection abilities if you need them! Hit us up.
There are 3 options for projection:
Video projectors
Super great and flexible, however you will need a very very bright unit to be visible large and outdoors, especially if there is ambient light.

The Illuminator How to Guide
Check out our Power guide for options on plugging this stuff in.
More obsucre options:
Vector Laser Projectors
Potentially dangerous to eyes, more expensive, but very bright. Line art/text only.
Great for simple text, great also for long throw. Generally not reccomended without a professsonal operator, who also will won the expensive gear.

GOBO (high power slide projectors)
This is a very bright lower cost option, but it can take weeks to get a slide made, so not very flexible
Upside is no computer needed. Another downside is the edges can be pretty blurry.
