These are Pixar's 10 Commandments of "Perfect Projection" quote: Do a Run-Through of the Built-Up Print Confirm that you are running Scope Format (2.39:1) Confirm Projection Light Level (16fL open gate) Confirm Sound Level (85dB), Dolby/DTS Faders at 7, SDDS at 0 Fresh Lamp Life (70% of rated life remaining) Full Framing (no image cut off) Sharp Focus Across Entire Image Sharp, Tight Masking That Doesn’t Cut Off Picture Check and Clean Aperture Plate Check Cleanliness and Operation of Entire Film Path Fresh Lamp
So do I understant this correctly....they want you get your 16FtL of light on the screen, but then they want you to have a bulb that's been in use for only 30% of it's rated life? In other words, every time you open a feature, your bulb has to be almost new or you're not Perfect Projection*? If that's what they are saying, it's absurd. What difference does it make where in the life of the bulb you're at as long as you are getting your 16FtL on the screen?
Yah, Perfect Projection. These are the people who instead of making sure there were visible frame-lines in two fade-outs (see Wall*E Thread), instead put SPLICE HERE arrows, only they put them one sprocket off. Doh.
* "Perfect Projection" -- Hey, Pixar, nice try....but we call it Film Done Right, thank you very much, and we've been calling it that long before you were even a corporate zygote. And we'll keep calling it that in honor of our friend who coined the phrase.
