Author Topic: Frozen 3D color flickering/blooming Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 11-26-2013 12:56 AM                        Just ran a test screening of Frozen 3D tonight. Barco DP2K-10Sx with RealD XL on a Precision White screen. There was no overall image flicker, so I'm not thinking bulb issue. It seemed to show up in very specific areas of the image, very specifically limited to regions with very deep saturated solid colors. It looked as though the colors were flickering in and out of blooming, if that makes sense. I'd say I noticed it in about 10% of the scenes of the movie, and it's probably not something we'd receive a complaint about from the average customer. Still, any ideas? Has anyone noticed this on their print? Or possible projector issue?  |  IP: Logged Jason Metcalfe Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Austin, TX, U.S. Registered: May 2010 posted 11-26-2013 09:19 PM                     I checked this out tonight, maybe I wasn't looking at the right scenes but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Checked it on a Sony SRX-320 w/ RealD & silver screen  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 11-26-2013 09:21 PM                     Mark, how many 3D features have you seen on that Barco and RealD System so far? Could be a bad 3D timing. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-26-2013 10:10 PM                        I QC'd parts of it last night and it looked fantastic, I thought. The opening cartoon is terrific by the way.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-27-2013 01:55 PM                        I Q.C. it this morning. It was great. I gotta see that opening cartoon in 3-D!!!  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 11-29-2013 10:45 PM                        Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it another look and if I continue to notice it, I'll have our tech take a look. We've run a good amount of 3D so far (only other animated feature was Despicable Me 2), never noticed the issue until now however.  |  IP: Logged
