Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watchi

4、ng the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras. To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside.

They dont make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing
