G'Day All,
Regarding the issue of low/half relief buildings abutting the back drop I think one of the major tactics is to have a lot of eye-catching items about 50mm (2 inches) away from the backdrop so that most of the time the observer is focused upon them, and not the building/backdrop junction. We are creating an illusion and so we should feel free to draw upon the skills and tactics of illusionists. However I do agree that a well done backdrop can help a lot!

Andrew George.
