Digital projector query
Tonight, I saw a movie I shot projected on a digital projector. For the most part, I was not thrilled. Granted, some of it, and only some, was shot under rather flat lighting, but overall I was not thrilled by any.
I would like to know if digital projectors (not the fancy ones that some theaters have, this was something less fancy, projected on a 20 foot or so screen, if I had to guess) have some kind of limiting characteristics to them that a computer or NTSC monitor doesn't. It seemed that it had a desaturated look to it, as well as having a lower ability to distinguish between different colors and different levels of lighting within a scene (even differences that looked fairly obvious on a monitor looked almost accidental on the projector). Anyone feel me on this, or am I just a raving lunatic? |

Well I think it all has to do with the quality of the projector. I've used a $125,000 DLP projector that produced stunning images on a 40' screen. I found that if I "put my nose against" my 17" LCD monitor it looked pretty similar to the projected image. There certainly was no loss of saturation. On a smaller scale, did you see this review in DV Magazine http://www.dv.com/reviews/reviews_it...iew/wright1103? Quote:

No clue. It's whatever they have at the screening theater in Houston's City Hall. Not actually "my" movie; it was one that I DP'd on.
